Oluyemi Bajowa has harped on the need for the media to ensure a balance reportage of activities before, during and after the Governorship election in Ondo State. She noted that the fourth estate of the realm plays a pivotal role in nation building as gate keepers of information , hence the need to ensure that their news report as they will cover the Ondo Guber poll is not unnecessarily sensationalised and does a fair presentation of activities in the polity in the course of the poll.
Regent Bajowa gave this advice in Akure, the Ondo State capital during the ‘ Chronicle Magazine’s 7th Annual Anniversary/Lecture and Award series’ where she bagged the honour of The Best Monarch of the Year.

“In the course of my Regency, I promised to uphold the dignity of royalty and improve on the high standards of leadership and administration set by my father, His Royal Majesty, Oba Fredrick Bode Ayelomi of blessed memory, the Lumure of Ayeka Kingdom,” Princess Bajowa added.
