The appeal has been dispatched to the President Goodluck
Jonathan to call on security operatives to ward-off further waste of lives
following a statement made by Oyo state governor, Senator Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi
last Sunday that if Senator Rashidi
Ladoja
is removed ACCORD party would be no more.
ACCORD spokesman, Lanre Latinwo
disclosed this in a press statement in Ibadan yesterday that the governor spoke
in an interview which was relayed on Channel Television and call for thoroughly
investigate the claim.
The governor, who spoke to the newsmen after the
newly registered party APC rally at Mapo, said that there is no other party in
the state, stressing that “no more PDP in Oyo state and that if Ladoja is
removed there would be no party called ACCORD.”
He stated that ACCORD is
worried because there may be sinister moves aimed at wrecking havoc on targeted
members of the party hence the clarion call to higher authority to prevail on
the governor to explain what he meant.
According to him, ACCORD would not have
bother to make this an issue, but past experiences and activites of defunct ACN
leaders have shown that issues of this nature should not treated with
levity.
Citing examples of an incident in Lagos state few years ago that
earned late Funso Williams his life while similar fate befell another PDP
stalwart Ayo Daramola in Ekiti state. Alhaji Latinwo further expressed
conern that “our fear is the threat to national leader’s life is such that
cannot be dismissed with a waves of hand or treated with hands in gloves. More
so, that such statement is coming from the Chief Security of the state, we need
to cry out and for the Presidency to intervene and to give necessary cover to
shield/protect Senator Rashidi Ladoja life.”
He however pleaded with all
the security apparatus in the country not shirks their responsibility to call
the Oyo state governor to order to forestall any dastardly act.
