Politicians have been sternly warned to leave children out of politics or face the wrath of women.

The warning was given by Ogun State women, under the aegis of ‘Concerned Mothers of Ogun State.’ Armed with placards and banners showing their resentment over the use of children to score cheap political points, the women described this trend as  senseless, destructive and abusive.

As they moved round, they sang different songs to show their displeasure.

In Isara, the leader of the women in the local government, Mrs. Omolara Obafemi, informed the traditional rulers in the town that some politicians were planning to kidnap the children of their political rivals and cause mayhem in the next election.

Responding, the Alakaka of Akaka, Oba Joshua Awoderu, promised to convey the message to the perpetrators and warn them to desist from the dastardly act.

At the palace of Alaye Ode of Oderemo, Oba  Adetunji Oso, the royal father informed the women that Ogun men were concerned about the politics of bitterness and wickedness being played by disgruntled politicians in Ogun State, led by a Foundation, promising to look into the development.

The women, led by the wife of the local government chairman, Alhaja Kikelomo Ajayi, reported the politicians to the royal fathers in the town. They were also at the palace of Olowu of Owu, Oba Olusanya Dosunmu and were received by Olori Dosunmu.

The wife of the monarch promised to pass the message across to the ruler.

At the palace of Osile of Oke-Ona Egba, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, the wives of the monarch, Olori Omolara, Olori Yetunde and Olori Olabisi Tejuoso, advised politicians to shun politics of bitterness and leave children out of politics.

The wives of the monarch advocated dialogue between warring politicians as a way out of the political impasse.
