Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun urges traditional rulers in the state to promote peace and encourage responsible participation in the 2027 elections. He calls on monarchs to play an active role in ensuring their subjects engage constructively in the electoral process.
Abiodun makes the remarks during events connected to the inauguration of the Ogun State Council of Obas’ leadership. Premium Times reports he inaugurates Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, the Alake and Paramount Ruler of Egbaland, as the new Chairman of the council. The Punch similarly focuses on Abiodun’s directive to monarchs to foster peaceful civic behaviour at the grassroots level.
Across both reports, the emphasis is on maintaining order and reducing the risk of violence as the election approaches, while also leveraging the influence of traditional institutions to mobilise citizens in a lawful and non-disruptive manner.
