Ondo Youths Warns Of Planned Protest In Akure

The Ondo Youth has warned over the planned “Jara e gba” protest about the health of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

The group claims there are plans to manipulate the Ilaje Local Government area youths opinion about the governor’s health condition.

According to the group, the organisers of the protests planned to show Governor Akeredolu as not capable, hidden away from public view by his family and associates to mislead the people of the state and garner support for actions that may incite discord against the Governor.

Coordinator of the group, Comrade Adetunji Benjamin, while presenting speech in the state’s capital, Akure, called on the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to take notice of the lies spread and the unwillingness of Aiyedatiwa’s supporters to embrace peace in the state.

Adetunji Benjamin said , “We are in possession of evidence of the planned press conference and protest, during which mocking statements were made about the people of Ondo State. This action undermines the efforts of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

“We wish to reassure the people of the state that Governor Akeredolu is actively engaged in the affairs of the state. Since his return from medical vacation, he has been dedicated to addressing the concerns of the people. ”

He added that, “While we respect the right of any group or organisation to hold a press conference or protest, it is disheartening and hypocritical that such an event would be organised to present falsehood about the health status of a Governor who is committed to the state’s progress.

“We call upon the security agencies to remain vigilant, and we urge the people of the state to dismiss the insincere concern of the Deputy Governor’s associates if they proceed with their planned press conference and protest.”
