The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has advised political gladiators and stakeholders in the state to be cautious in their utterances and actions as regards the present political development in the State.
According to the APC, the faceoff between the executive and legislative arms of the state government is being critically examined by the combined teams of national and state leaderships of the party.
In a statement by the publicity secretary of the party in the state, Alex Kalejaye said the APC in the state is very hopeful that the situation would soon been resolved, to wade off avoidable political tension, and engender friendly atmosphere, ahead of governorship election.
While the party expressed appreciation to various stakeholders, particularly the respectable elders in the state for their concerns, words of counsel, and prayers, assuring that the storm would be over soon.
APC noted that it is imperative to urge stakeholders to pursue peace with maturity and civilized conducts. Protests and violent agitations, as being contemplated by some groups, can only lead to personal injuries.
Noting that the people should be reminded that security agents would not condone destructive conducts under whatever pretence. So need to be well guided.
Adding that the ruling party commended the good people of the State for their peaceful disposition thus far, and their resolve to resist relentless efforts, aimed at dragging them into unproductive agitations.
Just as the Ondo APC further applauded security agents for all the efforts and sacrifices to ensure peaceful atmosphere. They have been commendably organized, and supportive in this regard.
In a similar development, the Ondo elders and leaders at a meeting have call on President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed TINUBU, to passionately intervene and end the present constitutional crisis in the state, to avoid the looming breakdown of Law and order in the state.
The meeting that was at the instance of the Afenifere leader, Pa. Reuben Fasoranti, had in attendance traditional, religious and professional leaders, market women, the academia and other notable stakeholders in the state.
While the meeting also resolved that there should be no impeachment of the Governor nor the Deputy Governor by the House of Assembly. And that all unelected persons should allow the three arms of government to find lasting solution to the current crisis in the state.
Adding that the rule of law should be followed by all stakeholders as enshrined in Nigeria’s constitution.
Also the the Elders/Leaders in the state also call on the State/National Leadership of the Ruling Party, the All Progressives Congress, to provide the required guide to those in government as well as ensure discipline amongst their fold.
