The Ogun State governorship candidate of the Unity Party of Nigeria, Olurotimi Paseda, has said the people’s wish will prevail in the 2015 general elections. He said this while speaking with journalists in Omu, Odogbolu Local Government Area of the state on Monday. Paseda stressed that he had the conviction that the people would vote en masse in 2015. He was in the local government as part of his familiarisation tour of the 20 local government areas in the state. He said, “All I know is that the people’s mandate will prevail in 2015. I have an absolute conviction that people will vote, they will come out en masse to vote. “All we can do is to ensure that wherever we foresee malpractices, our officers will be there to check it and report it, all we hope for is for the people to speak.” While Paseda commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for the preparation so far made for the elections, he noted that what parties needed to do was to be vigilant and ensure a massive turnout at the polling centres. On his observation while on tour of the local government areas, Paseda expressed shock at the level of decay in rural areas. He, however, said the reception he got was overwhelming across the state. Paseda said he was better equipped to know the needs of the people. He said, “This is what makes it all worth the while. It has been 20 good days of being around sensitising the people and feeling the pulse.”
