Elections: Senator Urges Ogun State stakeholders To Be Neutral

Stakeholders and Monarchs in Ogun State, South West Nigeria have been advised to maintain neutrality by allowing people to make their choices on 11th March 2023.

Nigerians on Saturday March 11, 2023, will go to the poll once again to choose their Governors.

A former Minister of State Education, Senator Iyabode Anisulowo gave the advice in a statement.

According to Senator Anisulowo, the recent endorsement of a particular candidate by his Royal Majesty (Monarch) Oba Kehinde Olugbenle, Paramount ruler of Yewaland at the expense of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, candidate Biyi Otegbeye, is not only against democratic principles but retrogressive and divisive.
