During his appeal, the monarch also asked other political aspirants from Ward A, his home ward, to consider stepping aside in the interest of political harmony.

Oba Sejiro clarified that the support for Princess Oluremi from himself and other traditional rulers was based on a collective desire for fairness across all five wards in the LCDA. “Our endorsement is not driven by personal preferences but by a commitment to justice,” he emphasized.
This call for political unity and fairness underscores the importance of equitable representation in local governance, as the region navigates its political landscape ahead of the elections.
