Worried by the incidences of political violence in Ogun, former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on Saturday, met with leaders of various political parties and heads of security agencies, to address issues that could bring about breach of peace before, during and after the elections. Egunleti said “Our father (Obasanjo) has called the political parties for a meeting to shun any act of thuggery, fighting, and any form of violence during and after the election. Therefore, we have been warned and advised to keep peace in Ogun for the benefit of all. Isiaka said the meeting was a noble one and described it as a welcome development. What happened on Thursday is not a good signal for us in Ogun state with the level of democracy we have experienced,” Isiaka said.
