  ILARO — The Director General of Yayi Liberator in Ogun State, Comrade Ibrahim Fayomi Olumako, has described the stakeholders’ meeting organized by PDP governorship hopeful, Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, in Ilaro as a get-together of jobless and hungry people with no political relevance. Olumako, who spoke to journalists in Ilaro on Saturday, said the gathering further exposed LADO’s desperation and lack of grassroots acceptance in Ogun West ahead of the 2027 governorship election. He challenged Adebutu to publish the names of those who attended the meeting if they were truly heavyweights in Ogun West politics. "The heavyweights in Ogun West are in Senator YAYI's camp. What Lado assembled in Ilaro were jobless fellows looking for transport fare. It was a fashion parade, not a political meeting. You cannot import people to Ilaro, feed them, take pictures, and call it Ogun West indigenes. Ogun West people are wiser than that," Olumako said. The Yayi Liberator DG also commended O...
