ONDO Poll : Our People Will Resist Wike’s Antics- Ondo Government
2 min read
Ahead of the Ondo State Governorship Election, the State government has warned that it would resisted any attempt by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike to meddle in the conduct of the October 10 poll.
Ondo State Commisioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, in a press statement, said Wike’s resort to making unfounded allegations just because of election was laughable.
Ojogo stated that the people of Ondo State would not allow Wike to play the role of a godfather in the State.
The Commisioner said “Ondo is not Rivers.”
“In all aspects, Governor Wike deserves respect not just as governor but as a critical stakeholder in the Democratic journey. He has his inalienable rights as a citizen to express his mind and make comments about whatever he feels strongly about.
“However, what amuses us is his imperious attitude and recourse to spurious allegations just because of an election. He should know that the people of the State, who have a history of rejecting external influence and domination, will resist his attempt to play the role of a godfather in Ondo State. Ondo is not Rivers.
“The man ought to know that utterances of public office holders must be measured and their delivery ought to be in line with the mood of the people.
“The people of the State will resist Wike here even if he had roared elsewhere successfully. For emphasis, his imperialistic approach is most unfortunate and very unbecoming.”
