Ijebu-IGBO— Former Senior Special Assistant to former president Olusegun Obasanjo on Political Matters, Dr. Gbolade Osinowo,  has called on Nigerians not to  sell their votes to enjoy good governance.

Osinowo who is the new board chairman of a pressure group, the National Campaign for Credible Election and Leadership, spoke in Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State, at an inaugural meeting of the group.

He expressed concern over growing level of destructive politics in the country.

Osinowo argued that something must be done to curb election rigging which posed a serious threat to Nigeria’s democracy, saying “I believe this is a positive development for me. We want people who have dedicated themselves to principles based upon integrity, patriotism and good governance through credible elections to join us to promote the political development of Nigeria.”
