*ONDO YOUTHS IN POLITICS*
*_ATTEMPTED TREASON; SABOTEURS IN GOVERNMENT HOUSE – MADAM FIRST LADY HAS QUESTIONS TO ANSWER_*
It saddens our hearts as youths of Ondo State, to hear the voice note credited to the first lady of Ondo State.
As youths and those looking up to political leaders as great role models we are shocked and concerned that the First Lady of Ondo State, Arabirin Betty Anyanwu Akeredolu would have wished the Governor of our esteemed state evil even with a conditional statement.
Such wishful thinking is barbaric and unprecedented in the annals of the history of our loving state. To say the least, is it is an irrate statement, absolutely demeaning and belittles the office of the first lady.
We call on the Executive Governor of Ondo State, Arakurin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN, CON, to as a matter of fact beef up the security architecture around him.
Such statements cannot be interpreted as statement of mere puff. We are of the position that out of the abundant of the heart the mouth speaketh.
The action of the first lady amounts to security threats and a breach of law and order. If the Governor of Ondo State can no longer be safe in the state, especially with the utterances of the first lady, as citizens we are scared for our lives.
It is crystal clear that our frantic position may also be erroneously interpreted by the first lady. We therefore ask the security operatives to be preemptive of any potential threats to our members and the executives.
We also demand as peace loving youths who has the interest of the State at heart that, the first lady be taken in for immediate questioning.
That the first lady be locked off access to the Governor until the situation and apprehension is settled.
We restate our commitment to stand by the Democratically elected Governor of Ondo State.
We further posit that the office of the first lady is allien to our laws but a creation of an effective tool to support the Governor and other elective offices. We recall how the wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of USA was relevant in the scheme of things to support her husband lead the USA from the Great Depression. As the age long saying that behind a successful man is a successful one. The case however as it stands in Ondo State proves that our Governor is no longer in safe hands with the first lady.
In the eventuality that any of our members is missing, following intels that the first lady wishes to crack down on dissenting voices who stand with the people’s Governor of Ondo State, the entire Ondo State indigens, Nigerians and the world at large should know where to look to.
We are bold and courageous people in Ondo State, our “Igbo First Lady” who prides in addressing herself to such background, rather than accept her indigeneship of Ondo State by marriage should now note that the eyes of the world is focused at her.
Thank you and God bless.
