Ogun State House of Assembly lawmaker under the platform of All Progressive Congress (APC), Hon Olusola Sonuga, representing Ikenne State Constituency, has named a public facility water project he constructed in honour of Hon (Dr) Ladi Adebutu, Chairman, House Committee on Rural Development and Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2019 gubernatorial hopeful.
The event took place on Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at Ilishan Garage/Motorpark, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State. Hon Kamorudeen Ariyo, Chairman, PDP, Ikenne Local Government commissioned the project on behalf of Hon Adebutu. Thereafter, Sonuga visited Hon Ladi at his residence.
In his speech, Hon Sonuga, expressed appreciation to Hon Ladi for his progressive personality. He emphatically stated that his emergence as a member of the Ogun State House of Assembly in 2011 was purely on the shoulder of God and Adebutu. Sonuga added that Adebutu, despite his defection from PDP to AC now APC in 2012, never for once attempted to bring him down nor sponsored any campaign against him, an attitude he said was rare amongst political leaders.
On why he decided to honour Hon Adebutu with the water facility, Sonuga said that Hon Ladi was “a performer, a promise keeper and dependable personality who is capable of genuinely developing Ogun State.” He pledged to partner with Hon Ladi in his vision and mission to take Ogun State to the socio-economic summit.
Hon Ladi, in his reponse, said that the Ogun lawmaker was welcomed to the PDP family positing that the task of building the gateway state was a collective effort. He assured him of a level playing ground for him and his people.
