Group has asked Adebutu to present himself for trial Over the N2bn vote buying scandal.
Glamtush reports that a group known as the Ogun Integrity Vanguard (OIV) has asked Oladipupo Adebutu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the March 18 governorship election to present himself for trial over his indictment in the N2 billion vote buying scandal.
This online newspaper understands that a police report had indicated how Adebutu allegedly distributed prepaid cards with values of N10,000 and N20,00 inscribed with ‘Dame Caroline Oladuni Adebutu Memorial Endorsement Scheme for Less Privileged’ to voters during the governorship and State Assembly elections in Ogun State.
However, OIV in a statement by its secretary, Duro Thomas, in Abeokuta, on Monday, noted that Adebutu has been trying to avoid trial over his indictment in the vote buying scandal by writing frivolous petitions to the police.
The group noted that after the Federal Government charged them to court over vote buying, Adebutu and some PDP members are writing petitions to Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, asking him to investigate Governor Dapo Abiodun and All Progressives Congress (APC) for vote buying.
