Ladi goes silent after reconciling with Kashamu’s faction of PDP.
Following the reconciliation of the Ladi Adebutu’s faction with the late Kashamu’s faction of Peoples Democratic Party by the Bukola Saraki led reconciliation committee, Adebutu is nowhere to be found in Ogun politics.
People had expected that the reconciliation of the two factions of PDP in Ogun State will make Adebutu come out the way he used to.
But Adebutu has remained silent and all his political programmes have been put on hold.
It was also gathered that Adebutu is nowhere to be found in the political permutation going on in the state.
