Eschew bitterness but work in one accord to consolidate on the development being recorded in the land through unity.
This was the advice of Owa Obokun , Oba Adekunle Aromolaran to politicians of Ijesa extraction.
He gave the advice during a peace meeting with leaders of APC and PDP in his palace.
The paramount ruler of Ijesaland called the peace meeting following the interparty melee that characterized the distribution of Permanent Voter’s card by INEC in Ilesa West Local Government Area on Thursday which left behind a tale of horror.
A leader of People’s Democratic party , Mr Ibukun Fadipe aka IBK blamed loyalists of the rulling party for the crisis who tore the posters of his party’s governorship candidate.
Countering his claim, the commissioner for works in the state, Mr Oluremi Omowaye said the problem started when a member of the opposition party allegedly shot at the convoy of the state governor at Ikoyi axis of the Local Government Area.
Holding leadership of both parties in Ilesa west responsible for the dastardly act, a former commissioner on the platform of PDP in the state, Alhaji Jide Bakare , urged the Owa Obokun to let the leaders swear to an oath before the powers within the palace.
Contributing, the member of house of representatives, representing Ijesa South Federal Constituency, Chief Babatunde Ayeni condemned the disruption of the peaceful electoral exercise by the political thugs , stressing that henceforth , anyone caught disturbing the electioneering should be punished with himself inclusive.
In his appreciation on behalf of both parties, the speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr Timothy Owoeye pleaded with the concerned people to see one another as heirs of the same father and not to allow politics tear them apart.
