The Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Ondo State Council, has admonished politicians and the electorate against engaging in any form of vote trading during the forthcoming November 16 governorship election in the state.
The union, which harped on the many dangers inherent in vote-buying and vote-selling, empathised that such exercise will amount to mortgaging the future. According to the state council of the NUJ in a communiqué issued after the monthly congress held at the Press Centre in Akure, the state capital, political actors in the forthcoming election must make their campaigns issue-based.
In the communiqué signed by the secretary of the council, Meshack Olaoluwa, the Ondo State government was urged to fast-track negotiations with the organised labour and as well ensure the timely implementation of the N73,000 new minimum wage promised by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
