Donald Ojogo, a former commissioner for information and orientation in the state of Ondo, is running for the House of Representatives and has been sworn, if elected, to effectively serve the interests of the Ilaje/Ese Odo federal constituency.
Ojogo denied claims that he would put the interests of his supporters aside in favour of those of the residents of Bayelsa state.
The DKO Fresh Path Team's media coordinator, Oladeji Ebisemiju, advised the residents of his federal constituency to "ignore the diversion, go on, and deepen engagements" in a statement.
He said: “Having gone through the contents of the piece under scrutiny, I amusingly came to the hasty conclusion that it’s merely part of political fireworks.
“If emotions are not detachable from politics, I urge all to disregard the contents of the piece and concentrate more on the project because political bullets don’t kill.
“I would rather urge us all to concentrate more on the uncommon goodwill and support extended by truly conscionable Ilaje patriots who have demonstrated in no small measure, an appreciably commendable degree of fairness and justice as well as the need for harmony.”
