As Oyo State approaches the next gubernatorial election, let security of your property be the first factor guiding your choice of candidate.
Do not allow time to erase the pain and stress many people endured as a result of the Oyo State government’s demolition decisions. Actions that threatened the homes and properties people worked hard all their lives to build. The stories of demolition, inadequate compensation, unpaid compensation, Deeds of Sublease, and policies that appeared to rob Peter to pay Paul must not be forgotten.
With the election drawing closer, there will be incentives, sweet words, and promises meant to make you forget yesterday’s suffering. Do not be swayed by gifts or temporary gestures. Do not trade your future for rice or empty assurances.
Instead, support a candidate who understands the value of people over projects. A leader with the courage and compassion to protect citizens’ properties and livelihoods. Ibadan land is not merely a commodity for investment; it represents the heritage, identity, and history of its people.
This time, vote with wisdom, not emotion. If you have not yet obtained your voter’s card, do so. Do not sell your vote.
Against all odds, we have a mandate—to defend our rights and reclaim what belongs to us if Gov. Seyi Makinde insists on taking it away.
