Reject politicians who ignore your calls, messages, Ogun monarch urges residents

The Eselu of Iselu Kingdom in Ogun State, Oba Akintunde Akinyemi, has urged residents not to vote for politicians who ignore their calls and messages. According to him, public office holders who fail to communicate with the people they govern do not deserve votes.

Oba Akinyemi stated that a lack of communication destroys public trust, breeds misinformation, and paralyses governance. He listed several dangers of ignoring the electorate, including the breakdown of trust, suspicion of corruption, and the spread of fake news.

The monarch advised that responding to calls and messages is a key responsibility of any public office holder, and anyone who fails to do so does not deserve the votes of Ogun traditional rulers or citizens.
