Adebutu, who was warmly received by the people of the council area, said his experience as one-time Commissioner I in the state’s Local Government Service Commission and as chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development stand him in good stead to do well for the people at the third tier of government.
He expressed his commitment to bettering the lots of the people of Ogun State with his Itura De agenda purposely designed to bring the desired relief to the people of the state.
He noted that Odeda having the seven out of its ten wards mainly known for agriculture and a good number of farm settlements will be provided with necessary supports to aid the development of agriculture and to encourage farmers.

The train also had a stop by at Obantoko and Osiele Wards where Baales, community leaders, religious leaders, youths, students, party faithful and loyalists warmly received the PDP candidates and the team.
The people of Odeda, where Adebutu addressed a large crowd, expressed their joy and commitment to vote the PDP at all levels, while stressing that they have endured enough hardship from the current All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration.
Also speaking at the event, Adebutu’s wife, Chief Adenike, thanked the people of Odeda for their support, berating the current government for lacking empathy.
She assured women of their inclusion in an Adebutu-led administration as he had promised 33 per cent women participation in his government.
