…says Ayedatiwa lacks capacity for governance
The Social Democratic Party in Ondo State has condemned some APC stalwarts and aides of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu over what it terms desperate politics and scheming for the number one seat in respect of the Governor’s health.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Ondo State Chairman Social Democratic Party (SDP) Hon. Stephen Adewale.
In the statement, the SDP Chairman worried over the way some aides of the governor have deliberately act in their own interest rather than covering the loopholes created by the health of the governor.
It reads:”Let us quickly note that since Arakunrin Akeredolu has turned over leadership to his Deputy Governor in an acting capacity, Akeredolu’s health should not be a topic of public discourse. However, the APC and its overambitious gangs made it their business to keep the Ondo people talking about Akeredolu because they all demonstrate that, in the absence of the governor, they will only act in their own self-interest.
“It is a glaring issue to the people of the state that, the ruling party APC and its members are the enemies of themselves. While their boss, the governor, is still battling illness, it is highly unacceptable for people in the cabinet to have begun developing campaign strategies, forming various political groups, and displaying all types of criteria needed to be considered as the best choice candidate for the number one seat.
“We can assert unequivocally that the governor is more beloved by the good people of Ondo State and the opposition party than by the lieutenants he personally selected.
“It was evidently clear that the state workers organised prayers for the quick recovery of Mr. Governor as well the opposition parties who have prayed for the Governor’s quick recovery. However, no single release or statement from the cabinet members that they set aside a day for prayers for the governor or inviting religious leaders across boards for the purpose. Instead, some of them have started campaigning undercover, which of course can be interpreted as nothing more than the egotistical interests of these individuals.
Mr Adewale alleged that, the APC has shown that it lacks capacity to govern the Ondo State, and we are not fooled into believing that the party will do anything significant during their remaining time in power.
According to him, all the daily cover-ups and mudslinging that the APC and its self-serving leaders feed us on a daily basis are colourful and unique. After consuming enough of them, one begins to realise why the good people of Ondo State must vote them out of Alagbaka come 2024.
“APC was never intended to produce incorruptible leaders, and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. This is evidenced by the level of shamelessness displayed by the overambitious APC politicians since Akeredolu’s health crisis came to light, as well as the lengths to which they have gone in demonstrating that they are willing to sacrifice the progress of the state for their own ambition. Voting them out entirely in 2024 is the best course of action.
“For six years now, APC has shown that they are only interested in government, not governance. In our very eyes, we watch as these so called ‘progressives’ who once criticised their predecessors ended up becoming the same monsters they hunted.
