Founder of Baba Ijebu lottery, Kessington Adebutu, on Wednesday said that as much as he would not like to dabble into politics, he was in full support of his son, Ladi Adebutu’s governorship aspiration.
Mr Ladi, one of the sons of the business mogul, is the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun.
The business tycoon said he would not like to discuss or delve into political arena, but that his son’s line of career was a welcome development to him since he is an adult.
“As much as I don’t like to discuss politics and it is not my style to do so, my son contesting for the governorship position in Ogun is his call.
“He is an adult and he has the right to choose whatever career for himself, either business or whatever the career.
“Be that as it may, my son have my full support, because that is what he wants to do and I have no control over that, I have given my blessings,’’ he said.
Adebutu said though as one of the pioneers of lottery business in Nigeria, he was not scared of competition in any form, adding that the market was big enough for all.
“It is true that I changed the face of lottery business in Nigeria, yet it accommodating enough for everybody. I want many others to join in the business,” he said.
