ABEOKUTA—An Abeokuta based socio-political organization, the Egba Descendants Union, EDU, has praised the senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for Ogun Central district, Dr. Abisola Sodipo-Clark for her insistence on running an issue-based campaign leading up to the general elections next year.

In a statement issued in Abeokuta, yesterday, Chairman of the group, Alhaji Moshood Dosunmu stated that the Central district which is populated mainly by the Egbas requires candidates that will stay away from mudslinging, campaign of calumny and violence.

“We have met and have come to the conclusion that our people are peace loving, therefore we advice the politicians to toe the line that Dr. Sodipo-Clark has espoused. We call on other candidates from other political parties to follow the steps of this woman. Our people are refined and even though we like politics we don’t like ‘do or die’ kind of politics. What Egba people want is someone who can tell us what he or she can do. And the only way to know that is from the utterances they make now as candidates”, disclosed Dosunmu.
