In 2027, the monarch of Iselu Kingdom in Ogun State has warned residents against electing untested politicians. Oba Akintunde Akinyemi urged voters to thoroughly scrutinize candidates, including their family backgrounds, and not to base decisions solely on party logos or ethnic sentiments. He emphasized the importance of public examination for the next governor, stating that whoever replaces Dapo Abiodun should be subjected to rigorous scrutiny.
The monarch also called for media and civil society organizations to investigate candidates together and urged residents to ask critical questions about the individuals they intend to entrust with the state's governance and heritage. Additionally, he urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun to resolve its internal rift between the camps led by Olamilekan Adeola and Abayomi Hunye, suggesting that the fight should be settled internally rather than on social media.
The traditional ruler also stressed that while traditional rulers must remain neutral in politics, they should guide their people to make informed decisions.
