Olajengbesi calls for protection of political choice after alleged Ilase incident
Pelumi Olajengbesi called for political differences to be kept from becoming a basis for intimidation, punishment or loss of livelihood after raising concerns about an alleged incident in Ilase, Obokun.
We must never use political power or influence to intimidate, punish or destroy the livelihood of any citizen because of political differences.
I have received a disturbing report concerning Ms. Adeola Idowu Adegoke of Ilase, Obokun, a known Accord supporter. Her shop was allegedly looted, and she and her mother were summoned and reportedly banished her from the community unless she agreed to work politically for Senator Fadahunsi and Hon. Wole Oke. Under pressure, she agreed to support Senator Fadahunsi but declined to campaign for Hon. Wole Oke, and yet she was ordered to leave Ilase. This is not possible in a democracy.
I call on Senator Fadahunsi and Hon. Wole Oke because their names are being invoked. If these actions were taken without their knowledge or authority, they must immediately call those responsible to order.
No citizen should be intimidated, banished or deprived of their livelihood because of their political choice. This is ungodly, unacceptable and contrary to law.
Politics must never descend to this level.
Pelumi Olajengbesi Esq.
