The Ondo Redemption Front has issued a warning to the Ondo State House of Assembly, advising them not to remove Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa from his position. The group has also called on President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to prevent any abuse or manipulation of the state’s democratic institutions.
Despite the House’s claim that no action is being taken against Aiyedatiwa, there are reports that a two-term House member is gathering signatures from lawmakers to impeach the deputy governor over allegations of “serious misconduct.” It is believed that external forces may be influencing this move. Therefore, it is important to closely monitor the situation and ensure that democratic processes are followed.
Reliable sources report that attempts to force Aiyedatiwa’s resignation have been unsuccessful, and now those involved plan to charge him. The Ondo Redemption Front is concerned about the impeachment process, stating that it is alarming and raises serious concerns about the stability and integrity of democracy in Ondo State.
They call for an end to the attacks on the deputy governor by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s aides, especially since his return from medical leave abroad. The group emphasizes the importance of upholding democratic principles and respecting constitutional processes, and believes that political leaders should prioritize the welfare and development of the state over personal vendettas.
They also remind the House of Assembly and those behind the impeachment plot that Deputy Governor Aiyedatiwa is an elected leader in the state and must be treated as such.
To safeguard democratic institutions in Ondo State against manipulation and abuse, we call upon President Bola Tinubu, the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the National Assembly to closely monitor the situation.
We strongly condemn any verbal attacks on Deputy Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s advisors and agents, as such behavior undermines the principles of respect and civility in our political space.
Our group is committed to mobilizing the people of Ondo State to resist the rise of anti-democratic forces. We hope that this challenging period will ultimately make Ondo State stronger and more united in its commitment to democracy and development. The Ondo Redemption Front is dedicated to fostering peace, stability, and good governance in our beloved state.
We urge all stakeholders to prioritize the interests of Ondo State and its people and to resolve their differences through peaceful and legal means.
