Opposition parties and their candidates in Ogun State are focusing on legal technicalities and ancestry claims to undermine their political opponents, according to Femi Ogbonnikan. The article argues that instead of addressing the state's pressing socio-economic challenges, they are attempting to lock in election outcomes before votes are cast, relying on courtroom manoeuvres and sub-ethnic identity politics. It highlights a smear campaign against the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship frontrunner, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, known as Yayi, particularly when figures like Ambassador Folake Marcus-Bello reduce political debate to a candidate's ancestral roots. The piece contends that this reveals a disregard for the intricacies of governance and critical issues requiring urgent solutions.
