The spurious efforts of the opposition PDP in Ondo State to weaponise the disappearance of Soldiers from checkpoints in the State is near sabotage, which clearly showed how detached they are from the arena of vigilance.
The State Commissioner for Information, Donald Ojogo stated this in a statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday.
The PDP had earlier alleged the Akeredolu government for the withdrawal of Soldiers from military checkpoints in the State over what it described as the nonpayment of their allowances.
But the government accused the PDP of playing politics with the lives of Ondo residents.
Ojogo in the statement alleged that such politics is targeted at the Amotekun corps.
“To them, everything is politics and politics must be infused into everything, including the safety and welfare of the people. No discerning group could have bought into such cheaply brandished propaganda.
“The ignorantly appraised security situation by the PDP is an inelegant manifestation that they would rather dance on the blood of innocent South westerners on the alter of politics for patronage than stand firm in defence of their people.
“The Ondo State Government desires not to go into the merits of the flying story about non-payment of allowances to any arm of the military. It deserves no such efforts more so, that, the concerned arm of the military has yet to issue any statement in that regards.
“It must be noted that notwithstanding the politicisation of any situation, the Ondo State Government ably led by Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN shall not, under whatever circumstances, succumb to blackmail and allow any puerile allegation wrapped under ethnicised platforms to wrought further violence on our people.
“It must clear to all, including the PDP, that, the target is AMOTEKUN. Unfortunately for whoever whose motive is to perpetrate violence under any guise, our resolve to sustain AMOTEKUN remains unwavering. We won’t be deterred in any form. Our time-tested character and attitude toward tackling insecurity even at odd times, shall not be compromised,” the statement read.
