…Says It Is Highest Form of Political Terrorism
By Chris Udochukwu
Abuja (Precise Post) – The PDP National Campaign Council for Ondo Governorship Election has reacted to Governor Akeredolu’s hate comments, saying he has toed ungodly path in his desperation to cling to power despite being rejected by his people due to his failures.
Precise Post recalls that Akeredolu has declared former Governor Olusegun Mimiko and former Chief Judge, Seyinde Kumuyi as his enemies for life because they chose to support someone else.
The PDP while reacting in series of tweets strongly condemns Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s recourse to hate comments against patriotic leaders and citizens of Ondo state over the consensus by the people to replace him with the PDP candidate, Tayo Jegede SAN.
The PDP campaign is shocked by the latest of such hate comments, wherein the deflated Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, on a national television on Sunday, declared key Ondo citizens as his “enemies for life” for rejecting him and his party, the APC ahead of the October 10, 2020 governorship elections.
Rotimi Akeredolu’s statement that former Governor Olusegun Mimiko and former Chief Judge, Seyinde Kumuyi “are my enemies for life because they chose to support someone else. I hope God will forgive me” is an irresponsible hate speech and the highest form of political terrorism in our national contemporary history, which must be condemned by all.
We know that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and the APC have become deflated and overwhelmed by the massive support for Eyitayo Jegede and the PDP across the state, but it is indeed unfortunate that the Governor can toe such ungodly path in his desperation to cling to power despite being rejected by his people due to his failures.
It is equally unfortunate that even as a Christian, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu had decided to tread a course that is totally against the tenets of the holy book, to name others “enemies for life” because of a blind desperation to hold on to office.
This is akin to the desperation exhibited by the biblical rejected Cain, who slew his brother Abel, out of envy for being more preferred because of his good works.
Our party can also relate this to the desperation with which Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and his agents have been hounding the PDP candidate, Tayo Jegede SAN, including their attempt on his life at Oba-Akoko, just because the people had accepted him.
Furthermore, Nigerians now better understand why Governor Rotimi Akeredolu has refused to serve the people of Ondo state; because he sees them as “enemies for life”. This explains why Governor Akeredolu and his party the APC have been imposing heavy taxes, increasing levies and fees and taking all manner of steps to make life miserable for the people.
