Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has been lambasted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state, Agboola Ajayi.
Agboola said: “What we have put in now in Ondo State (Amotekun) under the late governor, not just us but the entire South-West region, we looked at what was happening then, kidnapping here and there, and said what can we do?”
“I must give it to our late boss, he had the courage and boldness to say we must establish Amotekun which is more or less a state police arrangement. But unfortunately these days, that legacy is almost destroyed by the incumbent governor.”
“Aiyedatiwa does not know the pain we went through to ensure the establishment of Amotekun and for this reason, does not care about improving the outfit.”
For those who don’t know, Ajayi was the deputy governor to late Rotimi Akeredolu during his first term in office.
The Ondo State governorship election will hold on Saturday November 16, 2024 with Agboola and Aiyedatiwa as the two main contenders.
Aiyedatiwa is the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the Ondo November 16 election.
