The spokesperson for the Pelumi Olayengbesi Campaign Organisation, Mr. Sodeeq Lawal, has described Nigerian politics as selfish, accusing some politicians of prioritising personal and family interests over the welfare of the people. Speaking on Vicinity FM Good Morning Nigeria programme, he said some politicians were more concerned about enriching themselves than serving the people who elected them.
Reacting to public concerns over the donation of 20 million naira to Ipetu Ijesa by Barrister Pelumi Olayengbesi, an Accord Party candidate contesting for the Oriade/Obokun Federal Constituency (Ijesa North). Mr. Lawal dismissed allegations that the politician was using the money to buy people’s interests and votes.
He maintained that Olajengbesi was a dedicated politician committed to the welfare of the people and the provision of their needs.
The campaign spokesperson urged residents of Ijesa North to remain positive and avoid negative thoughts that could distract them from making informed political decisions.
