ABEOKUTA– The Former Member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Adekunle Akinlade has stated that he is pleased that the State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun reacted positively to his suggestions about visiting the victims of the recent herdsmen attacks in the state.
The Former Federal lawmaker, who represented Egbado South/Ipokia Federal Constitiency in the 8th Assembly further said what is important is that the Governor is taking steps by setting up intelligence gathering mechanisms to monitor amongst other efforts with the view to repeal any future attack.
In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Alao Azeez Adelani, which was made available to The News Ville Tuesday, Akinlade reteraites that it does not matter if the actions by the governor of the state came ‘late’, to him, “something is being done and we must appreciate that fact. As the ruling party-APC, we must lead and serve our people purposefully”
He further maintained that the people will be better for it if their interests are placed before petty political gains.
Akinlade therefore extend his appreciation to all those that visited Oja Odan, the service chiefs, royal fathers and other stakeholders for speaking up and refusing to take the law into their own hands as suggested in some quarters.
He also emphasized that he will continue to offer constructive advice and criticism when the need arises.
