A former majority leader of the House of Representatives and 2023 Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in Oyo North senatorial district election, Hon. Mulikat Akande-Adeola, has urged the people of the district and beyond to embrace peace and spirit of sportsmanship on their campaign in the coming elections.
In a statement made available to pannigeriannews.com by her side, Comrade Afeez Opeyemi (Omo Leader), Hon. Akande-Adeola charged politicians in Oyo State to vote for candidates that preach a better society and brighter future for the country.
Hon. Akande-Adeola was represented Ogbomoso North, South and Oriire federal constituency at House of Representatives from 2007 to 2015 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Ogbomoso-born politician, popularly known as ‘Obinrin Rere’ (virtous woman) enjoined candidates and supporters of political parties to eschew bitterness, thuggery and other forms of evils.
The statement read in part: “There is no sense in engaging in violence, thuggery and all forms of evil ways of campaign in order to win an election.
“Why do you have to engage in killing your opponents or followers? Why do you have to destroy the opposition’s campaign vehicles, bill-boards or posters because you want to win an election?
“It is so barbaric, animalistic and uncalled for to engage in such acts.
“We must imbibe peace: we must let our integrity, dignity and antecedents speak in our campaign engagements. Let our manifestoes, good names and what we have done in the past or what we intend to do speak for us.
“May the Lord Almighty protect us and all of our followers from evils.
Peace is all what we pray and preach. Good luck to all contenders.”
