Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike along with the former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday stormed Ogun State to give their support to Oladipupo Adebutu while declaring his intention to bid for the Governorship seat of the state. 

This follows Adebutu's purchase of the expression of interest and nomination forms at the National Headquarters of the party in Abuja.

The former Federal lawmaker officially declared his intention at the Ake Palace ground  to contest for the governorship seat of the state come 2023.

Wike and Fayose who are party leaders of the Peoples' Democratic Party joined thousands of party members in Ogun State to give solidarity to one of their own.

It would be recalled that Segun Sowunmi of the same PDP had earlier shown interest to bid for the same position about some weeks ago, in an open declaration at the Panseke area of Abeokuta. 

The event is still on-going as at the time of filing this report.
