Oluwo of Iwoland,Oba Abdul-Rasheed Adewale, Telu I, has appealed to his subjects across the state,especially the people of Iwo Federal Constituency of Osun State to register for their voters’ card in preparation for “Iwolokan 2018 Agenda”
Oluwo described the 66,000 registered voters in Iwo as ridiculous and disheartening, saying Iwo was politically enlightened to command less than 100,000 eligible voters,urging the sons, daughters and dwellers of the area to ensure their voter`s card registration as part of the sacrifice to realize Iwolokan 2018 Agenda .
The appeal was contained in a press statement made available to journalists by his Press Secretary, Alli Ibraheem in readiness for 2018 guber race in the state.
Oba Akanbi disclosed voters` cards as primary certificate for any free, fair and credible election, pointing that Iwo is was enlightened politically to command meagre number of registered voters.
The monarch implored his political subjects to take the responsibility of enlightening the populace for the realization of Iwolokan Agenda in 2018.
Oluwo disclosed that anyone above 18 years was eligible to register for their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) in order to exercise their franchise of voting and to be voted for, appealing to those in diaspora to ensure they register in Iwo for the success of the town`s political expectation.
The royal father said he had sent signals to political parties in the state to consider Iwo in selecting or electing their respective standard bearer in 2018 should they want any support from Iwo.
“It is ridiculous Iwo has only 66,000 PVC. Iwo is politically too matured to command such a low number. Iwo is more than 200,000 in population. And as such, it should command at least 100,000.It is high time our people became more enlightened to value the power of PVS. I appeal to my sons, daughters and all the dwellers of Iwo to go and register for their PVS with immediate effect. The struggle for Osun State 2018 starts now, tomorrow may be too late”
“I equally appeal to all my subjects in diaspora to relocate their PVS and that of their children to Iwo in preparation for 2018 gubernatorial race as politics is a game of number. We are due for the number one citizen of Osun State. Iwo has always been instrumental to the emergence of previous governors in the state. Undoubtedly,, the payback time is 2018.
“I have signaled to political parties in Osun to consider Iwo in selecting or electing their respective standard bearer to acknowledge the status of Iwo as bastion of progressive governance ” said Oluwo
