The Chairman, Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area, Hon. Adewale Sheriff, has endorsed the Vote Not Fight, Election No Be War Campaign.
The chairman committed to supporting the campaign when the Vote Not Fight, Election No Be War Campaign State steering Committee paid him an advocacy visit recently at his office. Sheriff encouraged residents of Ogun State to shun violence, fights, and any form of electoral crisis and should avoid being used as thugs for election disruption.
“Voting is the expression of commitment to developing our existence, hence, the need to depart from violence."
To achieve a peaceful election, he said a lot of work has to be done on the consciousness of Nigerians toward pre and post-election conduct.
The chairman reiterated that youth participation is key to achieving a free, fair, and credible election. "Vote not fight is coming at the right time, and there’s a need for our youths to be change agents by propagating this concept in the forthcoming general election."
Earlier, the Team Lead of the Vote Not Fight, Obasanjo Fajemirokun described the chairman as a key stakeholder if success must be achieved in ensuring elections are peaceful.
Obasanjo maintained that no amount of money or pleasure should allow one to be used to disrupt elections, adding that the Vote Not Fight Campaign’ is a movement toward ensuring not only a peaceful environment but also the promotion of true democracy and holistic development.
He, however, urged the youths to conduct themselves peacefully before, during and after the election.
