2023 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTION FOR ILAJE/ESE ODO FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY: DESTRUCTION OF MYSON ADEYEMI NEJO’S CAMPAIGN BILL BOARD
The attention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s Candidate for the 2023 House of Representatives election for Ilaje/ Ese Odo Federal Constituency, Myson Adeyemi Nejo, Esq. (a.k.a mysonalawyer) has been drawn to the unfortunate and barbaric incident of the destruction, on the morning of Monday the 29th day of August 2022, of his newly erected campaign bill board situate at Zero Zero junction Igbokoda by criminal and misguided elements strongly suspected to be thugs acting on the instructions of one of his opponents in the race.
In a constitutional democracy such as ours where the people, through their votes, decide who leads or represents them at any level of governance, every candidate has an unfetterred right to sell his manifesto and candidacy to the electorate without let or hindrance. It therefore smacks of a high dose of political immaturity, intolerance and lack of democratic culture that the bill board in question was erected on Sunday evening only to be torn down barely a day after. Curiously, the destruction of the bill board took place at the same period when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Candidate for the 2023 House of Representatives elections for Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency and the incumbent occupier of the seat, Hon. Kolade Akinjo held political meetings in Ilaje Local Government which meeting was well attended by his rampaging supporters and uncontrolled party thugs.
The destruction of the bill board however betrays the well founded fears of these undemocratic elements and their sponsors that the candidacy of mysonalawyer poses a great threat to the unpopular candidacy of their pay master whose two terms at the House of Representatives could hardly be justified by any visible legacy or impactful accomplishment that could have endeared him to the people of the constituency or put his candidacy at an advantage over Mysonalawyer’s.
It is therefore imperative to remind the agents of violence and destruction that the Nigerian criminal justice system is still very much available to bring such irredentist conducts of theirs to book and mysonalawyer will not hesitate to activate the criminal justice process in the event of any subsequent act of brigandage.
Mysonalawyer hereby appeals to his teeming supporters to keep calm in the face of this unwarranted provocation and keep focused on winning the trophy of victory.
