As political alignments sharpen ahead of the 2027 polls, the National Rescue Mission (NRM) has called on the Ogun State electorate to reject the culture of political imposition and vote for transformative change.
NRM State Chairman, Hon. Olujobi Fayoyin, emphasized that the power to shape the state’s future rests firmly with the ballot box. He cautioned that allowing candidates to be “handpicked” by power brokers without democratic due process would only continue to stall meaningful development.
Fayoyin decried what he termed a growing culture of imposition in the political space, where candidates are allegedly handpicked and presented to the electorate without due regard for democratic processes. He warned that such practices undermine the will of the people and stall meaningful development.
“The people of Ogun State must rise and reject any attempt to impose leaders on them. Democracy thrives when citizens actively participate and make independent choices at the polls,” he said.
The NRM chairman stressed that only through collective action and conscious voting decisions can the state witness a shift toward accountable governance and improved living conditions. According to him, the 2027 elections present a critical opportunity for residents to chart a new course.
He further called on voters across the state to rally behind the National Rescue Mission, describing the party as a credible alternative committed to transparency, inclusiveness, and people-oriented policies.
Fayoyin maintained that the NRM’s vision for Ogun State centers on restoring public trust, strengthening institutions, and delivering sustainable development that benefits all citizens.
“As we approach 2027, we urge the good people of Ogun State to reject politics of imposition and embrace a movement that prioritizes their welfare. The power to rescue the state lies in their hands,” he added.
The call comes amid increasing political activities and alignments ahead of the next general elections, with parties intensifying efforts to position their candidates and consolidate grassroots support.
