According to a Press Statement issued by the State Secretary
of the AD
in the State, Dr Sola Agboola, on Saturday, instead, the Governor
should be held accountable for the organised mayhem which he
regretted, "has even continued since this morning (Saturday) as PDP
thugs and street urchins hired to carry out the acts of brigandage and
been blocking roads in Akure, the State capital to sustain the lies
concocted by Mimiko to the President that the State was on fire owing
to the list pasted by the Independent national Electoral Commission
(INEC)".

The AD while describing the situation as an irony and a sad
pointer
that Olusegun Mimiko who got into office via the instrumentality of
the court could surreptitiously resort to violence even while before
an appellate court to redress the matter, posited that it amounted to
deceit to resort to violence to seek justice.

While describing AD as a peaceful Party committed to the
peace and
tranquillity in the State, the Secretary wondered why Dr Mimiko should
attempt to attempt to impose the wish of a tiny members of his party
over those of the majority who are contented with the court and INEC's
verdicts.

"In order to make his subterfuge work, the embattled
Governor
threatened the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladelusi Aladetoyinbo with
deposition if he fail to incite the market men and women and force
close the Main market in order to make his ploy seem real.

"At the same time, hired thugs from outside of the
State in cahoots
with the some members of the drivers' union, whose State Chairman is
the Governor's kinsman from Ondo, caused mayhem in order to whip
sentiments for his minion, who regrettably is a lawyer.

"we are calling on the law enforcement agencies to call

Mimiko and his protégé, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria (SAN) to order and hold them responsible for any infraction
and breakdown of law and order. They are the authors of this organised
mayhem stricto sensus.

"The AD as a peaceful party abhors violence and
destruction of public
properties and we view with seriousness this shameful act of
brigandage to force the hands of the law to do your wish by fire by
force as Mr Mimiko is doing. The present mayhem is an organised one
being perpetrated by the Ondo State Government and not that of the
reaction of the people. Besides, that it came a day after the said
incident happened and far into the midmorning when workers, market men
and women, school children have gone to their respective offices and
schools speaks volumes," Agboola stated.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that the people peacefully expressed their dissatisfaction with the way and manner APC manipulated the outcome through Justice Abang and INEC without resorting to violence obviously did not go down well with the opposition, since the resolution of the crisis will spell doom for them at the polls. The peoples' wish will prevail.
ReplyDeleteI think the writer didn't get good information about how the protest goes.. People protest in peaceful way/manner to express their feeling to Pople of Ondo and to say no to Justice O.E. Abang of Federal High Court and Inec decision. Say no to 1993 crisis.....let the sunshine again. peaceful ondo.
ReplyDeleteThe statement above shows the primitive nature of mr Agboola's mind. civilization requires men and women to express their dissatisfaction peacefully. Politics seems to have knocked out civility in Mr Agboola's mind.
