Yakubu dogara laments the death of Action Democratic Party Senatorial District candidate

Speaker, House of Representative, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara has lamented the death of the Action Democratic Party of Oyo Central Senatorial District candidate, Hon. Olatoye Temitope.

One of his aides who spoke to Gistyoublog under anonymity said he was shot in the face and has been rushed to the Accident and Emergency centre in University College Hospital(UCH), Ibadan.

Dogara said "I received with shock, the sad and distressing news of the assassination of my brother and colleague, Hon. Olatoye Temitope Sugar, in Oyo State today.

"The murder of Hon Sugar in election violence today is primitive, wicked, inhumane, barbaric and highly condemnable.

"He was a fine gentleman, committed patriot, dedicated, hardworking lawmaker and worthy representative of his people. We mourn him and all those whose lives were cut short by forces of evil and soulless men.

"Our heartfelt condolences to their families. We pray for speedy recovery for all those injured.

"Elections are not war and should never be, they are and should be for service to God and country and not conquest with the barrel of the gun.

"The rate of killings, thuggery, ballot snatching, voter suppression and other forms of electoral malpractices.

"some aided and abetted by security agencies- in these elections portend great danger to our democracy and the survival of the Nigerian nation, since the will of the people as expressed in the ballot does not always count.

"It is unbelievable that 20 years after return to civilian rule, Nigeria is still stuck in the dark, primitive and uncivilised age where elections are seen as war and a do-or-die affair.

"We call on the President and Commander-in-Chief to set up a commission to investigate these killings and bring the perpetrators to book."
