Aiyedatiwa’s Tiny Support Base Can Never Stop Ondo State Protesters from August 1st to 10th; Stop Wasting Our Commonwealth!
Just as we warned beforehand, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa met again with his supporters in one small boardroom at Alagbaka alongside Heads of Security Agencies. He made lying statements that EndSARS was violent and those protesting to #EndBadGovernance are planning to forment violence and he will stop any protest.
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa is an ingrate. He should not be the element mobilizing against protests. He could not even face the oppressions from the Akeredolu family even when the late Governor was already incapacitated. It was protesters led by Omoyele Sowore, the global Convener of the TakeItBack Movement that freed the state from the shackles of the Akeredolu family. Lucky Aiyedatiwa could not have become Ondo Governor if not for protests. I recall that even after Aiyedatiwa was sworn in, he had to adorn a red beret trying to imitate #RevolutionNow Comrades. But you cannot give what you do not have.
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who could not even provide palliatives to Ondo State people, has now paid hundreds of millions to the military for “show of force”. They are roaming the Streets from Akure to Okitipupa, warning Ondo State people from protests. Alas, Ondo people can never be intimidated by anybody. This is why there is no “Jagaban” here. Our youths and working people will be out massively on August 1st.
We want to inform the security agencies from the police to military that they are employees of Ondo State people, not the governor. Their duty as enshrined in the constitution is to secure and protect protesters, not intimidating nor attacking them.
We also want to reiterate that bad governance is affecting every Ondo State people. Even when Aiyedatiwa became governor on the back of the people’s agitations, he has been biting the hands of the people thus far. Workers are still being owed, Education is still as expensive, and healthcare remains a jeopardy. Same Aiyedatiwa never returned nor has taken any steps to return the stolen Oluwa Forest Reserves, neither was he interested in Local Government Autonomy not to talk of redistributing wealth. His lack of modesty, is why, just about five days to the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protests, Governor Aiyedatiwa freshly appointed thirty (30) aides! Squandering state resources is the trademark of the Ondo State governor!!
We want to state clearly again that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa must stop declaring war against the people of Ondo State. He must stop threatening protesters with security agencies and thugs. Ondo State good people do not deserve this neo-fascism of Lucky Aiyedatiwa!
On a final note, I call on Ondo State people to rise as we have always done. We abhor tyranny, and no dictator can rule us and win. The people will always win! We must #EndBadGovernance!!
In Solidarity,
Kunle ‘Wizeman’ Ajayi,
#IrapadaOndo/AAC Gubernatorial Candidate.
