Ogun 2027: Sales Of Gateway Hotels To Adebutu’s Family, Good Investment For Ogun – Ladi’s Campaign DG, Sogunle
ABEOKUTA – The Director-General of Hon. Ladi Adebutu’s PDP Governorship Campaign Organisation, Mr. Kehinde Shogunle has defended the sale of Ogun State’s Gateway Hotels to the family of Hon. Adebutu describing it as a good investment.
Sogunle, a former Commissioner of Finance in Ogun State under the administration of Otunba Gbenga Daniel stated this on Saturday while featuring on a radio programme in Abeokuta, Rock City FM.
He submitted that the sale of the hotel to private interest, a commonwealth of Ogun State, is not a big deal in Ogun State development.
“The thing went through a process and at that point in time the person that happens to bring in most resources and network to revive Gateway Hotels was Chief Adebutu” he said.
He said the sale was done transparently and in the best interest of the state by the OGD administration stressing that Ogun state hotel is not a big issue and I supported the sale.
Recalled that Ambassador Folake Marcus- Bello was one of the General Managers of the then Gateway Hotels that was ran aground to justify the argument for its sale to private interests.
The Gateway Hotels at Abeokuta, Ota and Ijebu Ode were legacy projects of the Olabisi Onabanjo administration that employed many indigenes of Ogun State before they were sold/leased to private interests with Gateway Hotels, Abeokuta now Park Inn Hotel under the control of the Adebutus.
