Amidst political feud between Governor of Ondo state, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and his deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the leader of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, and some elders in Ondo State have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene in the situation.
The Elder statesmen under the aegis of Ondo State Elders and Leaders, explained that the political crisis, particularly the absence of Akeredolu has been affecting governance in the state.
A communiqué signed by Bakitta Bello, the Afenifere leader and the group’s secretary, after an emergency meeting in Akure, noted that some people have hijacked the governance of the state.
Led by Fasoranti, the elders also asserted that if the tussle is not quickly addressed, it will no doubt affect the preparation of the 2024 budget.
They decried the absence of the southwest state in crucial national events due to the crisis, adding that there is no clear direction within the state’s civil service.
The communique reads: “The Elders also call on the state and national leadership of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, to provide the required guide to those in government as well as ensure discipline amongst their fold.
“The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is hereby passionately called upon to intervene and end the present constitutional crisis in the state, to avoid the looming breakdown of law and order in Ondo State.”
