The All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Ondo State has warned individuals and groups in the state against
playing politics with security matters.
The party’s Publicity Secretary
in the state, Mr Alex Kalejaiye, made the call in a statement on Thursday in
Akure.
“Those playing politics with the
security and peace of the state should urgently desist forthwith and join hands
with Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu to implement to the fullest his laudable plans
for the state.
“The governor should be commended
for his untiring efforts to ensure that the ugly development of kidnapping and
other vices in the state are timely nipped in the bud,” he said.
Some individuals and opposition
party had accused the state government of inability to ensure safety of
citizens, following cases of kidnapping in the state in recent times.
“Contrary to the position of the
opposition, the administration seeks better and secured living situations for
the good and peace-loving people of Ondo state.
“While it is unethical to discuss
security measures in the public, suffice it to say that recent comprehensive
security meetings with major stakeholders are geared towards a kidnapping-free
state,” Kalejaiye stated.
According to him, leaders of the
ruling APC in the state and the governor will not be distracted by critics in
the governor’s mission and commitment to a safe and prosperous Ondo state.
He lauded the commitment of the
governor to workers’ welfare in spite of meager resources of the state.
“It is ordinarily an unthinkable
thing for a government with a lean purse to adhere to prompt payment of
salaries, and strive to offset backlog of salaries and pensions.
“And, it is equally unfathomable
to the opposition that plunged the State into huge debts before the present
administration that Gov. Akeredolu could also promote civil servants, besides
regular payment of salaries and wages.
“This has, in no small measure,
gladdened the heart of the workforce that is currently in love with, and
praying for the governor fervently,” he said.
Kalejaiye added that roads were
either under construction or being rehabilitated while massive renovation of
schools and investment in water and agriculture by the administration were on
course.
