He enjoined them to also sustain this emulative tempo in the coming Gubernatorial and State House of Assembly Elections slated for 11th March 2023.
Baale Falola begged all residents of the state to inculcate this brotherly love at all future elections ” since we will remain brothers and sisters after any election, hence we should not allow politics to put us asunder”.
The traditional chief described the election as the best he had ever had as he praised youth in the state for their equanimity and cooperation in ensuring that peace reigned during and after the exercise.
He noted that the tranquil conduct of the exercise in Ogun has earned the state kudos in the comity of states in the federation as a peaceful state.
Asked to state what he could attribute the peaceful conduct of the election to, Baale Falola noted that mass education of voters was accorded high priority by the Independent National Election Commission (INEC) and the state government government. This too, the traditional ruler gave kudos to.
Baale Falola also called attention to scarcity of Naira which he said has its positive sides as it made the election go smoothly without any agitation or vote buying.
