The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, has queried Governor Dapo Abiodun over the murder of a traditional ruler, Olu of Agodo, describing his administration as ‘weak’.
Recall that NewsBreak reported on Monday that Oba Ayinde Odetola, the Olu of Agodo in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun, was killed and burnt in his car by some yet-to-be-identified assailants.
PDP in a statement on Thursday, by the state Chairman, Sikirulai Ogundele condemned the incident, faulting the security architecture of Ogun State for the increasing crime rates.
He queried the essence of governance if lives and properties were not safe under the watch of Gov Abiodun, adding that security has gone beyond the launching of OP-MESA with patrol vehicles.
He said: “The present government keeps telling Ogun State people that security is better, but how can they sleep with two eyes closed when a sitting king was killed in his community in broad daylight?
“These are lapses that make Dapo Abiodun’s administration a total failure. If lives and properties are not secured, who then are you governing?
“We saw the recently launched OP-MESA, rejigging a state security architecture is more than launching patrol vehicles.”
He called on the youths and residents of the State to get their voter cards, saying the high level of insecurity must not be allowed to continue.
“I encourage every youth and resident in Ogun State to get their Permanent Voter Card (PVC) because we must not allow this high level of insecurity and insensitivity towards the plight of the people to continue,” he stressed.
