…. . Oluwo Receives Osun REC, Pledges Support For Fair, Credible Poll
“Any member of staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) aiding and abetting election rigging and malpractice is incurring the wrath of God, not only on himself but his or her generation. If you influence rigging, you are indirectly inviting violence. Electoral corruption always mar the democratic and economic growth of a nation”
“A patriotic citizen will never support rigging in whatever form. Let’s be honourable in our dealings”
“I will start requesting for the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) of every visittor or anyone in need of palace help. We have to place a condition that will force people to collect their PVC. Having the PVC is one of those things that qualifies you as a bonafide Nigerian in as much you are above 18-year. Voting on the day of election further entrench your citizenship”
These were the words of the Natural Paramount Ruler of Iwoland,HIM Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, while receiving the Osun State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Mutiu Agboke in his palace today.
