In the statement, the group appealed to politicians not to encourage any form of violence that may disturb relative peace in the state.
“There have been rumours of violence in Ibadan and other part of the state, we are imploring the police and other concerned agencies not to spare any one influencing the unholy act no matter how highly placed.”
The Association went further by imploring Engr. Seyi Makinde to learn from the mistakes of his predecessor and make necessary amendments in order to make his tenure a remarkable one, with good governance and balanced appointments and distribution of projects across rural and urban parts of the state.
Your consistency and advocacy for a better society through your philanthropic gestures and support for the less-privileged in your immediate environment gave you an edge over others in the just concluded guber election. We therefore implore you to use your new position to do more, by developing the people and the state. And at the same time be conscious of the need to make people the central focus of your administration, in order not to betray the confidence reposed in you by the electorates, who has chosen you as a preferred candidate for the job,” the statement reads.
