Arogbofa has called upon concerned and responsible citizens of Ondo to come forward and help diffuse “this brewing crisis, which, if allowed to escalate, could have detrimental consequences for the state.”

In an official statement released in Akure, Arogbofa expressed his concern that the current political tension could potentially disrupt the peace that the state’s founding fathers had envisioned.

He pointed out that the periodic conflicts between “some of our governors and their deputies” have exacerbated the socio-economic and political conditions within their respective regions.

Arogbofa cautioned, “Our shared fear is that the current political storm between the governor and his deputy, stemming from allegations of disloyalty, may lead to a deep-seated animosity, hinder development, create disruptive tendencies within the political sphere, and subsequently impact the civil service and the well-being of ordinary citizens.”

“We wish to prevent such an outcome. Given the fragile economic and security situations in the country, it is essential for the executive, legislative, and judicial branches in Ondo state to collaborate closely to enhance the quality of life for the people.”

“The existing issue requires delicate handling to prevent any major crisis. We call upon our honorable members to be mindful of their reputations and consider the verdict of history. Therefore, we urge them to pursue fairness and justice to defuse the escalating tension.”
