Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, stated
on Tuesday that Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the Governor of Ondo State, symbolizes
what Nigerians desire at the moment.
Obi characterized Governor Akeredolu as a leader who always
tells the truth, regardless of the repercussions.
The LP Presidential candidate stated this during a
condolence visit to the governor at the Presidential Lodge, Government House,
Alagbaka, Akure.
According to Obi, the governor deserves praise for standing
up always for the people, stressing that things are bad in the nation because
people chose to remain silent.
He charged Governor Akeredolu to continue to take every
necessary steps to protect his people, adding that the Governor is doing the
right thing.
“I urge you to continue in that direction. You represent one
of those things Nigerians desire, the ability to speak the truth no matter the
consequences.
“Arm those special security people. Take every step to
protect your people. It is important and it is your duty. I’m happy that you
are always speaking out when necessary. May God Almighty continue to be with
you and bless all of you.”
Obi offered the Governor his condolences on the passing of his
mother, Lady Evangelist Grace Akeredolu, JP, and prayed for God to grant her
eternal rest.
The LP presidential candidate also took the opportunity to
express sympathy to the governor over the tragic St. Francis Catholic Church
Owo shooting, which left 41 people dead and many more hurt and heartbroken
Akeredolu thanked Obi and his entourage for making the
effort to see him.
While referring to what occurred on June 5 at St. Francis
Catholic Church in Owo as horrifying, the Ondo Governor also characterized the
tragic episode as unexpected and unusual, particularly in the Southern region
of the nation.
