As 2023 Campaigns Begin: Let's All The Campaigns Be Issue-Based, Osun Online Media Practitioners Says

Since June 2022, when political parties rounded off their primaries, Nigerians have been anxiously waiting with bated breath for today, September 28 official campaign take-off date, the Online Media Practitioners Association in Osun State has urged stakeholders to avoid blackmailing people and allow the campaigns to be issue-based. 

On Wednesday, the Association emphasized the need for campaigns to be issue-based.

“Campaign is an avenue for the political parties across the board to present their manifestos to the electorates.

"However, as the fourth estate of the realm, we urged the contestants, politicians, and loyalists to adopt a new way on how possible they can make the local, state, and federal levels better rather than attacking personalities that could lead to mayhem.

"We call on the electorates to vote for the candidate of their choice and never be allowed to be bought over ahead of Elections day

"As we wish the country a fair, free and peaceful campaigns moment, supporters of political parties should shun violence. And remember is a campaign and not a fight.
