Ogun Governorship: I don’t like politics but my son has my support — Adebutu

Politics

Business Mogul, Sir Kensington Adebutu, on Wednesday said that as much as he would not like to dabble into politics, yet he was in full support of his son, Mr Ladi Adebutus governorship aspiration.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ladi Adebutu one of the sons of the business mogul is the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun.

The business tycoon said he would not like to discuss or delve into political arena, but that his sons line of career was a welcome development to him since he is an adult.

As much as I dont like to discuss politics and it is not my style to do so, my son contesting for the governorship position in Ogun is his call.

He is an adult and he has the right to choose whatever career for himself, either business or whatever the career.

Be that as it may, my son have my full support, because that is what he wants to do and I have no control over that, I have given my blessings, he said.

Adebutu said though as one of the pioneers of lottery business in Nigeria, he was not scared of competition in any form, adding that the market was big enough for all.

It is true that I changed the face of lottery business in Nigeria, yet it accommodating enough for everybody. I want many others to join in the business.

My philosophy is `the more the merrier. Nigeria is such a big country with about 180 million people and if you look at the size, we are about 20 countries combined.

So, with such size and population, there should be market for all and everybody is welcome into the business.

On many occasions, I have persuaded the government to grant license to some operators that are qualified because I have no misgiving for competition, he said.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p...
