Few days left to decide at the poll,am sure you have the date saved but before going to the poll it is necessary to possess Substantial knowledge which is not illusive, know the important of making choice and the crucial values of the choice we make now, I will reiterate that in my way of being a socially conscious citizen,I penned this piece as a subtle reminder of how important the decision we make on the 22nd of this month will affect our lives either positively or negatively beyond the four years the administration of the next Governor will lapse .

However, to let democratic rights prevails with no hitch, the Election processes within all Local government in Osun State should be supervised amidst tight security whereby the security Personnels are to man polling units and strategic locations in all Local government and Constituencies to forestall the breakdown of law and order during the process of the election till the whole exercise lasted .
