His words: “We are here to campaign. We are not here to fight anybody. Please, don’t allow anybody to provoke you. Vote and protect your votes.

Former Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, said it was sad that five persons died in the last few weeks due to political violence.

Mimiko stated that electorates were no longer attending political rallies due to violence.

His words: “They should ask Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu why his party members are using guns to pursue members of rival political parties.

“Our party believes that government projects are for the benefit of the people. They should know that there is life after office.”
