Olajumoke Adebutu, the 2023 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, has been released from detention by the Department of State Services (DSS), following an unexplained hold on his freedom. The circumstances surrounding his detention have sparked speculation that it was an attempt to silence opposition voices in the state ahead of the gubernatorial election. Adebutu's arrest and subsequent release raise concerns about the government's intentions and its handling of electoral processes, potentially undermining trust in the democratic process in Ogun State. This development also highlights the ongoing power struggle within Nigeria's ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
