The Ogun State Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has cautioned all political parties against violence and thuggery in the upcoming by-election for the Remo Federal Constituency.
The by-election, scheduled for Saturday, aims to fill the seat left vacant by the late Hon. Adewunmi Oriyomi Onanuga popularly known as(Ijaya)
In a press conference held on Thursday, Ogun IPAC Chairman Comrade Sanyaolu Abayomi emphasised that anyone caught engaging in violence will face the full wrath of the law.
The council urged all parties to play a level gam, adhering to the rules and maintaining peace during the electoral process.
Sanyaolu tied with the warning that comes after Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun stated that his administration will deal decisively with anyone attempting to disrupt the by-election.
The council encouraged all stakeholders to ensure a peaceful and credible election, honouring the legacy of the late Hon. Onanuga.
According to him,” The attention of the Inter-Party Advisory Council, Ogun State Chapter has been drawn to the statement by the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, where he warned that his administration will deal decisively with anyone attempting to disrupt Saturday’s by-election in the Remo Federal Constituency.
“Furthermore, the council also took curious notice of the fact that the Saturday bye-election poll is not a battle, but a democratic process to elect a replacement for the late Adewunmi Oriyomi Onanuga, who represented the constituency in the House of Representatives”
“Ogun State Inter-Party Advisory Council noted that the Governor, in his statements, said he has heard that some people are issuing threats against the Saturday bye-election and such threats will not be taken lightly since the Governor is the Chief Security Officer of the state”.
“Ogun State Inter Party Advisory Council wishes to make it clear that anyone who causes trouble on Saturday will be dealt with in line with all extant laws of the land, as we advise all political parties to eschew violence, as any threats that will set Ogun State on fire or make the state ungovernable will not succeed”.
“Our council wishes to make it clear that anyone caught will face the full wrath of the law”.
“Finally, Ogun State Inter-Party Advisory Council hereby enjoins all political parties and their candidates to play by the rules of the election, as IPAC will not condone any violence perpetrated by anybody.
We are for Law and Order”.0
