Ondo: Call APC-led govt to order, group urges religious, traditional leaders

A socio-political group, ‘Atunluse Initiatives,’ Tuesday urged all religious, traditional leaders and good spirited people of Ondo state to call members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)- led government to order as the current heated polity in the state is vexatious and cannot be tolerated any longer.

The group said instead for the state government to concentrate on working assiduously for the good people of Ondo state to enjoy the dividends of democracy, it was disheartening that the big elephants in the state are at loggerheads while the good people of the state are the grass suffering.

Speaking in Akure, the Ondo state capital, Akin Akinbobola, the chairman of the group said: “It is very unfortunate that this APC government in Ondo state does not appreciate the power entrusted in their hands by the people of the state.

“Rather than work for the people, they have embarked on internal power- play due to the vaulting political ambition of very few elites at the expense of the entire state.

“Our state legislators, instead of legislating laws that will engender socio-economical benefits to the citizenry are busy settling unnecessary political scores that can cause irreparable damage to the three arms of government and the existing peace of the state.

“The Atunluse Initiatives hereby join the family of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and the good people of Ondo state in praising God for his recovery from the shackles of sickness and we fervently pray that the God in his infinite mercy who has started the work of his healing will complete and perfect the healing.”
