PRESS STATEMENT
*OFFICE OF THE CONVENER #SECUREONDO*
*THE RECKLESS VITUPERATION OF A COMMON AIDE AGAINST A DULY ELECTED PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATIVE A SAD STORY OF A COUNTRY DRIFTING TO A BANANA REPUBLIC*
_The man dies in him that keeps silence in the face of tyranny- Wole Soyinka_
It is no gainsaying to state that every onlooker in the face of this struggle is either a coward or betrayal.
We have read with so much reservations the statement credited to Garba Shehu on the executive order of Ondo State governor. A decision which is the right step in the right direction to tame the ugly monster of insecurity in Ondo State.
We will be forced to call for the sack of this highly clanish soul outrightly supporting onslaught against law abiding citizens in the name of presidency. In a saner clime and where dignity is held in high esteem following the backlash across the country, Mr. Garba Shehu would have honorably resigned.
However, we are not suprise that such an aide who is confident to challenged a constituted authority representing the voice of an entire state, knows no decency nor honor.
Once again on behalf of our movement #SecureOndo we thank the entire youths and well meaning Nigerians who stood up in the defense of the clanish provocative statement from an ethnic chauvinist capable of setting the nation to a path of war and wathom destruction of lives and properties.
Consequently, the real enemies of Nigeria are being exposed and those by their actions and inactions supporting criminalities and insecurity in the country.
We wish to state categorical, vehemently without mincing words that we stand with our Governor, Arakurin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN.
The matter of security is everybody's business and in Ondo State, we do not compromise such for whatever reasons, not even political or religious reasons. We remain apolitical in the defense of our heritage and it is non negotiable.
Furthermore, to show our commitment towards the aforementioned, #SecureOndo is in talk with all youth bodies, artisans, students' union and all structure of our State to discuss further robust strategies and way forward in the actualization of a secured Ondo State.
Like the President Elect of the United States, said in the Eve of his inauguration _*in other for us to heal we must remember.*_ We must remember those who is aiding and tearing the nation apart, gradually drifting it to a banana republic for reasons unknown to us.
Our president, Muhammadu Buhari as over and over reiterated, that *"Nigeria is our only country and we have no other country, let those who think they have other countries leave"* rather than destroy the last fabric of our union.
We, are grateful once more to the spontaneous reactions of our people to #SecureOndo. This is support is immeasurable.
We thank you all, and wishes to admonish our people not to loose guards and await further practical instructions as we take our State back and restore it to its glorious days of safe haven.
