Amotekun: Don’t Rubbish Akeredolu’s Legacy, Agbo Tells Aiyedatiwa

News Investigators/ The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in tbe November in Ondo State, Agboola Ajayi, has faulted his All Progressive Congress (APC) counterpart (APC), Lucky Aiyedatiwa, decision to announce the commander of the Amotekun corps as head of election security committee.

Mr. Ajayi warned that the decision to drag the state security outfit into partisan politics is capable of rubbishing the legacy of his predecessor, Rotimi Akeredolu.

The PDP candidate dropped the warning in Akure while reacting to the state governor’s announcement of the state commander of the Amotekun corps, Tunji Adeleye, as chairman of the election’s security Committe of APC.

Mr. Ajayi described the action as “unprecedented, undemocratic and abuse of incumbency power to truncate and cause unmitigated crisis ahead of a divine arrangement designed to restore Ondo people’s lost freedom from poverty, insecurity and a failed regime of trial and error”

Mr. Ajayi, who was the first deputy governor to the late Akeredolu and active participant in the creation of Amotekun said Mr. Aiyedatiwa’s decision constitutes unpardonable ridicule of the government and legacy of the late governor who he said “did not create Amotekun to rig election”.

He said the appointment of Mr. Adeleye into the security operations of the election means direct indictment, on the capability of the Police to secure the state during election.

He urged the people to ignore any provocative from the ruling party, saying it is an antic to make the environment volatile for a free and fair election.

Ajayi said “the people are already aware of the government’s plan to use thugs to destabilize the state.and pave way for the rigging they have planned so much to execute”

Mr. Ajayi appealed to “our fathers and mothers in the state, to talk to the governor to shelve his plan to launch violence on election day, adding that no amount of intimidation or violence will stop the people from withdrawing the mandate they innocently gave the APC in the last election.
