A former Secretary General of Afenifere, Bashorun Seinde Arogbofa, has appealed to Ondo state governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu to forgive his didn’teputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, if the latter has done any wrong.
Arogbofa called on well-meaning Ondo citizens to rise up and quench ‘this gathering storm whose full explosion will not be healthy for the state.’
In a statement issued in Akure, Arogbofa said the founding fathers of the state would not be happy to see the current storm consume the state.
Arogbofa said the occasional cold war between “some of our governors and their deputies have exacerbated the socio-economic and political of their domains.”
He said: “My fear, nay our fear, is that the present gathering political storm between the governor and his deputy arising from alleged disloyalty, if not checked or properly handled, will lead to very bad blood, developmental set back, disruptive tendencies within the polity, and, in turn, have their unhealthy backlash on the civil service and the welfare of the common man.
“We don’t want this to happen. Indeed, the fragile economic and security situations in the country demand that it is better for the executive, the legislature and the judiciary in Ondo state to come nearer together and see how they can make the life of the people better.
“The issue on ground needs a careful handling so as not to lead to any major crisis. Therefore, our Honourable members should remember they have their names to protect in whatever they do. They should be mindful of the verdict of history. We therefore call on them for fair play and justice to arrest the gathering storm.
“I know Arakunrin to be a good Christian. Let him forgive anyone who might have done anything wrong against him or against his office. Let him remember that except the Almighty God wants it, nobody can take the life of another person. God holds the key of life. So let him not glorify or flatter any perceived enemy who may be said to be after him.”
