… the independent electoral commission (INEC), should conduct a free, credible and fair election – Ooni
As we enter a new year, we give glory, honour and adoration to Olodumare who has kept us to see the end of year 2022 despite all economic and security challenges that we are facing as a Nation.
Yes, we are in the mood of festive and campaigning period but everything has to be done within the confines of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria and the acceptable moral principles of our society. While we celebrate, we should celebrate in a coordinated and a conditioned manner.
2023, a year to open another chapter in the history of our great country Nigeria as to enthroning our leaders that will rule us for another 4 years has come, while we enter another electioneering moment, we beseech the independent electoral commission INEC, to conduct a free, credible and fair election.
This was contained in a statement signed and issued by Director, Media & Public Affairs,Ooni’s Palace, Otunba Moses Olafare.
Our politicians should endeavor to run a peaceful campaigning atmosphere that is devoid of shedding of blood as no ambition of any politician is worth the the life of any Nigerian.
Therefore, let the will of the people prevail by allowing them to exercise their franchise on the election day and equally, allow their votes to count as they make decisions in electing who controls their resources for the next four years.
Our youths remain the future and the glory of our dear Nation, therefore, they should desist from taking part in commiting any illicit electoral acts, frauds, thuggeries and carrying ammunition for any politician as the case may be.
Furthermore, whoever wins based on the will of the masses should be magnanimous in victory by making life comfortable for the poor masses and whoever losses should be supportive in ensuring that the dividends of democrasy get to the nooks and crannies of Nigeria.
Conclusively, the *house* *of* **Oduduwa**uses this medium to congratulate Nigerians home and in diaspora. More years shall be witnessed in good health and wealth on this planet . HAPPY NEW YEAR.
