A group of concerned citizens of Oyo State, under the aegis of League of Progressives for Good Governance, on Wednesday, chided the state Governor, Seyi Makinde, of All Progressives Congress, Teslim Folarin over the insecurity in the state.
“As far as security is concerned, it has been a story of woes, as innocent citizens, on daily basis, live in perpetual fear of attack by the rampaging hoodlums under the leadership of Mukaila Lamidi, popularly known as Auxilliary.
“It is unthinkable that a governor who swore to protect his people will leave them at the mercy of an ex-convict, who ought to be excommunicated in a saner society, has been on the prowl terrorizing the state.” The group lamented that the state had been taken off the radar of development and has retreated among comity of states in virtually all developmental indices.
On APC, Adeyemo said, “It is unfortunate that such a character like Folarin with no known professional career other than politics could be thrown up to aspire to govern a state as politically sophisticated as the state which was once governed by such intellectual giants as late Bola Ige and Omololu Olunloyo, a world-acclaimed mathematician and first-class brain.
“To us, the standard bearer of the Accord party, Adelabu, is a candidate to beat and he has the progressive ideology to make our state progress accordingly. Indeed, it is only by electing Adelabu, a former deputy Governor of the Central Bank, with vast experience in corporate governance and development, that our dear state can be saved from imminent collapse.”All rights reserved.
