Ondo people are wiser, says Group

Agency Reporter

A political group in Ondo state, the Ondo Political Awareness Group, has reacted to a trending video and statement credited to the son of the late Pa. Adekunle Ajasin, the former governor of Ondo state and notable leader of Yoruba socio-cultural group (Afenifere), and brother of Mrs Jumoke Ajasin-Anifowoshe.

While reacting to the issue in a statement released and signed by its Coordinator, Comrade Kola Salawu, he stated that, “it is on record that the late Pa. Ajasin remains the most disciplined and honest leader Ondo state, and by extension the Yoruba race, ever produced.

“In the statement, late Pa. Ajasin’s son, Tokunbo Ajasin, lowered what is generally acceptable, to the teeming Ondo populace, as a parameter for judging good performance. Tokunbo lacked the courage, policies and forthright vision with which his father governed Ondo state to the delight of all.”

Salawu noted that the antecedents of Chief Mrs. Jumoke Ajasin-Anifowoshe was hinged on resuscitating the continuation of Pa. Adekunle Ajasin’s novel progressive plan which was long abandoned.

He said, “the legacies of late Pa. Ajasin remain indelible and no longer shall Ondo indigenes gamble with their destinies as to leave governance in the hands of a handful political sojourners who are directionless.”

Salawu on behalf of the group stated the resolve of Ondo people to go with Mrs Jumoke Ajasin-Anifowoshe who has pledged to be pro-people, fix the economy, subsidize education at unmatchable quality, provide excellent healthcare system, revolutionize agriculture, provide security and ensure human capital development in the state.

He noted that in the coming weeks, ahead of the primaries, the will of the people shall overpower the machination of the few locusts ‘acting’ as agents of progress.
