A seasoned media professional, Hon. Raheem Akingbolu, has taken a swipe at Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant, Dr. Oluyede, for what he described as a blatant misuse of the Ekiti State official emblem in campaign materials.
In a strongly-worded statement, Akingbolu lambasted Dr. Oluyede’s campaign strategy, calling it a "farrago of missteps and mixed messages." While acknowledging the aspirant's right to seek office, he argued that Oluyede’s recurring approach every election cycle reflects desperation and a lack of strategic depth.
"Now, I have just observed a blunder in your poster. Constitutionally, the state insignia can only be used for official matters and documents. But now, you have undermined that straightforward protocol," Akingbolu pointed out.
He further warned that Ekiti people are politically conscious and will not tolerate any form of impunity or disregard for due process.
"Oga Doki, this is Ekiti, we are no fools, and we know our right from our left. Play the game by the rules. It’s not about gangsterism or unnecessary sloganeering; it’s about credibility, trust, and strategy. Nobody can enter Oke Bareke through the backdoor, as this poster appears to suggest. Again, play by the rules," he cautioned.
The use of state emblems in political campaigns remains a contentious issue, as legal provisions restrict their usage to official government purposes. Dr. Oluyede is yet to respond to the criticism.
