The Ondo state acting governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa, has called on the political class and stakeholders in the state not to heat up the polity.
The acting governor, in a statement called for consistent support and solidarity to the state government, especially, at this time.
Ayedatiwa stated that the attention of the state government has been drawn to some orchestrated falsehoods, insinuations and negative write-ups, particularly in the media with a view to causing disharmony and disaffection within the polity.
He noted that these tactics of faceless writers and agent provocateurs were intended to fan the embers of discord, tarnish the hard earned reputations of individuals in government circles and distract government attention in order to take political advantage in any manner to please their own selfish political whims and caprices.
Ayedatiwa urged the general public, to as usual, ignore these unfortunate lies and subterfuge as the antics of desperate political gladiators across political divides.
He added that his attempt would not derail the focus and developmental policies of administration which Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN, CON, has consistently pursued in the last six and a half years.
He also noted that some of the commentators expressed genuine concerns as stakeholders based on the provisions of the Constitution, adding that such constructive expressions were noted by the government.
He said, “This is not to say that we have been hitherto oblivious of the dictates of the law.
While the acting governor informed of constant touch with the governor while he is recuperating, he said Akeredolu also appreciated the prayers and good wishes of the people.
