How Kessington Adebutu’s Son, Ladi Marked 60th Birthday
Not only is he the first son of Chief Kessington Adebutu, business magnate and Premier Lotto promoter, Ladi Adebutu is also a former member of the Federal House of Representatives. He was a governorship candidate in Ogun State in the 2019 general elections under the Peoples Democratic Party.
Ladi recently clocked 60 and to celebrate the milestone, he chose to host a series of activities in different parts of Ogun State to enable him properly fete friends, business and political associates. The birthday activities kicked off a day after St Valentine’s Day with a symposium titled ‘The Ladi Adebutu Good Governance Symposium’ at an events centre in Ota. Three days later, on Friday February 18, a Jumat Service was held in his honour at the Central Mosque, Ijebu Ode. A reception party followed immediately after. On Sunday, February
21, a church service was held in his honour at the Christ Apostolic Church, Odogbolu while a reception party followed immediately after. On Monday, February 22, an event titled ‘Celebrating
Six Decades Of Overflow’ was held in his honour at the Honda Place in Ota and thereafter, he entertained his political party faithful. A similar event was held on Wednesday February 24 at Odogbolu where he also entertained party faithfuls thereafter.
On Friday 25, he took a break from partying to expand his business empire with the formal commissioning of his ultra modern meat processing plant. He resumed partying on Saturday 26 with the continuation of the event, ‘Celebrating Six Decades Of Overflow’ which took place at Abeokuta Sports Club. An even bigger reception took place immediately after for party faithfuls at the Peoples Democratic Party secretariat in Abeokuta. He rounded up the long line of activities on Sunday, March 6, with a thanksgiving service at the Celestial Church of Christ, Sagamu. Considered one of the pillars of the PDP in the South-West zone of Nigeria, Ladi, unlike others who lack the basic principles of loyalty, has remained true and faithful to the party despite the many disappointments he has gone through as a party member. He has also stayed true to his vow to govern Ogun State one day, refusing to jettison his dream despite several challenges like the power play between him and the late Senator Buruji Kashamu, which cost him victory in 2019.
