Ahead of the November 16th, 2024 governorship election in Ondo state, political parties have been called upon to ensure peaceful political campaigns and conduct devoid of thuggery before, during and after the poll.
A sociopolitical group, Sunshine Advancement Advocacy Ambassadors, in a communique made available to journalists in Akure by its chairman, Olaniyi Ogungbuji, said all the campaigns of political parties should be issue based devoid of violence.
The communique reads: “The socio-political group wish to appreciate the governor of Ondo state, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for the appointment of a member of the group, Chief Sunday Agbotoba, as a full-time commissioner in the Ondo state Civil Service Commission and same vein appreciate the PDP family in Ondo state for appointment of a member of the group, Bakita Bello as the caretaker chairman of PDP in Ondo state.
“The group viewed with serious concern the recent increase in the price of fuel in Nigeria and the associated negative implications of the policy on the populace.
“The group wishes to advise the federal government to review the policy by reducing the cost of fuel and, consequently, reduction in the cost of food and transportation.”
