The recent video making rounds where Hon. Ladi Adebutu, the PDP’s perennial gubernatorial candidate, repeatedly insulted and hurled curses at Governor Dapo Abiodun is not just disappointing, it is disgraceful and unbecoming of someone who parades himself as a leader.

Calling a sitting Governor names such as “omo irankiran” and other foul languages only exposes Adebutu’s lack of emotional intelligence, moral discipline, and respect for the very office he once desperately sought. When a man cannot debate with facts, he resorts to insults and that is precisely what Adebutu has reduced himself to.

The irony is even more painful: while Adebutu was busy raining curses and throwing tantrums, the APC and Governor Abiodun’s candidate, Hon. Princess Adesola Elegbeji, was coasting to victory in the Remo Federal Constituency bye-election. So much for his empty bragging that PDP would win. The people have spoken, and their choice was APC.

Let us remind Adebutu of his own baggage:

A failed governorship ambition rejected multiple times at the polls.

Endless court cases and allegations hanging over his political career.

A history of playing politics with bitterness instead of service.

In contrast, Governor Dapo Abiodun has remained calm, focused, and forward-looking. Rather than trade insults, he delivers: from the Gateway Agro-Cargo Airport to completed roads like the Ijebu-Ode-Epe Expressway, Sagamu-Siun-Abeokuta, Atan-Lusada-Agbara corridor, to massive investments in health, education, and digital economy.

Adebutu may believe gutter language wins elections, but Ogun people know better. They choose results over rants, leadership over insults, and dignity over disgrace.

In the end, Governor Dapo Abiodun remains the gentleman leader building Ogun State brick by brick, while Adebutu is fast cementing his reputation as a bitter politician defined not by achievements, but by curses and failures.
