Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun has urged his main rival in the March 18 governorship election and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ladi Adebutu, to stop “running from pillar to post” and join him in building the state.
He made the call on Friday at the Presidential Lodge, Abeokuta, while reacting to the verdict of the Court of Appeal, Lagos, which affirmed his re-election as the governor of the state.
Abiodun also praised the judiciary for showing its commitment to upholding the rule of law in the country.
He, however, taunted his main opponent saying having failed “to buy the election, the tribunal and the appeal” it was time to move on.
