The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has advised political gladiators and stakeholders to be circumspect in their utterances and actions as regards the political development in the state.
The party said the current faceoff between the executive and legislative arms of the state government is being critically examined by the combined teams of national and state leaderships of the party.
In a statement issued by the state publicity secretary, Alex Kalajaye, the party expressed optimism “that the situation would soon be resolved, to wade off avoidable political tension, and engender friendly atmosphere, ahead of the governorship election.”
Kalejaye said, “The party expressed appreciation to various stakeholders, particularly the respectable elders in the state for their concerns, words of counsel, and prayers, assuring that the storm would be over soon.
“It is imperative to urge stakeholders to pursue peace with maturity and civilised conduct. Protests and violent agitations, as being contemplated by some groups, can only lead to personal injuries.
“We should be reminded that security agents would not condone destructive conducts under whatever pretense. We should be well guided.
“The ruling party commended the good people of the State for their peaceful disposition thus far, and their resolve to resist relentless efforts, aimed at dragging them into unproductive agitations.
“The Ondo APC further applauded security agents for all the efforts and sacrifices to ensure a peaceful atmosphere. They have been commendably organised, and supportive in this regard.”
