He promised the monarchs,”the PDP government in Ogun State, if elected, will improve the social welfare of traditional rulers in the state.”
The governorship candidate said he had drawn a blue print that would ensure transformation of Ogun State from consumer economy to productive one through sustainable development of agriculture, particularly food security, its production and marketing.
Chief Adebutu remarked further that Ogun State is blessed with abundant human and natural resources that can engender rapid development of macro and micro economic activities and that his team had drawn a template that would create employment for the youth and propel increase in internally generated revenue for the State.
