Warning: Potential Threat to Public Safety in Ondo State by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa

 

It has come to our attention that certain individuals, purportedly acting under the directive of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, are planning to unleash terror on the people and residents of Ondo State, particularly targeting members of the APC. One of these individuals, fearing the magnitude of damage they are directed to unleash and the potential consequences of their intended actions, has bravely come forward to expose this disturbing plan.

According to information gathered, the plan involves targeting any member of the party who is not wearing a designated tag associated with Governor Aiyedatiwa. This alarming revelation follows previous incidents of violence perpetrated by thugs allegedly loyal to the governor during the recent visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Akure.

We urge the security operatives to conduct a thorough investigation into these reports to prevent any harm to the lives and safety of the people of Ondo State. It is imperative that measures be taken swiftly to ensure that the upcoming internal election of the party proceeds peacefully and without incident.

We implore all residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities. Let us stand united against any attempt to disrupt the peace and stability of our state.

The safety and well-being of every citizen are of paramount importance, and we call on the security agencies to uphold their duty to protect and serve the people. We trust in their capabilities to address this potential threat and safeguard the democratic process in Ondo State.

NANS Passes Vote Of Confidence On Olawande, Asefon

 

Members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), led by Comr. Lucky Emonefe, GCNS, in their large numbers, converged at the Office of the Secretary to The Government of The Federation to pass a vote of confidence on the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Students Engagement, Hon. Sunday Asefon and the Minister of State for Youth Development, Hon. Ayo Olawande. This is as a result of a politically motivated kangaroo protest staged against them yesterday by some unknown hoodlums who were clamouring for their removal without any tangible reason.

NANS leaders and members alike, from over 15 states of the federation, converged today in their numbers to express their displeasure at the politically-sponsored protest staged yesterday to merely tarnish the images of the SSA and the Honorable Minister without proof(s) of negligence or incompetence.

Hon. Sunday Asefon has been up and doing since he assumed office. He has brought several developments and initiatives that has changed the face of the Nigerian Students Community and there are programs still lined up for the growth and empowerment of Nigerian Students.

Hon. Ayo Olawande on the other hand has toured almost all the states of the federation, creating awareness for youth inclusivity and job opportunities for the Nigerian Youth via collaborations and rigorous engagements of individual stakeholders and corporate organizations across board. Being a youth, he knows where the shoe pinches and he has never left any stone unturned in bettering the lives of the Nigerian Youth since he was appointed.

As a result of this, it was disheartening, undermining and demoralizing for Nigerian Students to wake up yesterday to see some miscreants under the guise of students staging a protest and racketing for the removal of two of the best hands in the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu with the aim of impressing their paymasters who we learnt were around yesterday in preparation for their NEC meeting at the Wadata House today.

We hereby want to unequivocally assert that Hon. Sunday Asefon and Hon. Ayo Olawande are as efficient as time at everything they do and their effectiveness in carrying out their duties are unparalleled. 

Conclusively, the leadership of the Nigerian Students, NANS, with today's protests and many testimonies to the credits of these honorable individuals, is passing a vote of confidence on the Senior Special Assistant on Students Engagement, Hon. Sunday Asefon and the Minister of State for Youth Development, Hon. Ayo Olawande. They deserve to be awarded and rewarded for all they have done so far. We believe in their capacity to perform and change the existing narratives and the over 40.1 million Nigerian Students are satisfied with their conducts so far.

Foremost Ondo State People's Democratic Party gubernatorial aspirant, Hon. John Ola Mafo has promised to ensure victory for the Party when elected as its candidate in the forthcoming guber primary. He said this at Iju/ItaOgbolu, the headquarters of Akure North LG, when he met delegates from Akure North local government on Thursday morning. 

"One thing is certain in this whole process, and it is the fact that Ondo State people are readily waiting for us to get it right so that they can tell these strange bedfellows in APC their time is up. Nigerians are resolute in their resolve to oust their tormentors from power, and I am sure it will start from here come November." he said.

While stating why he's the preferred choice for the Party, the former Deputy Governor candidate said, "I am well equipped to take the State out of the throes of redundancy and make it a cynosure of eyes. We have whatever it takes to make Ondo State's sun shine again and we will deploy our experience in public and private sector to get the desired Ondo of our dream."

Hon. John Ola Mafo was a former commissioner under Governors Agagu and Mimiko. The astute lawyer was recently declared the most popular aspirant in PDP in an independent poll conducted by a popular blog in Ondo State.
