Ondo 2024: Court Pronouncement nullifying 33 illegal LCDA has validated my earlier assertion - BFA, PRP Governorship Candidate

… we haven’t seen governance in Ondo State in a long while, it’s been cheap, divisive politicking.

In reaction to questions from journalists today in Akure over the Manifesto of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), for the Ondo 2024 governorship election, release yesterday, Comrade Babatunde Francis Alli, the governorship candidate of the PRP, has stated that the nullification of the 33 illegal LCDA created by the APC led government in the State has validated his assertion, just yesterday, that the state has not seen governance since the APC took the reign of government in the state since 2017. “It's all been cheap, divisive politics” Alli stated.

It will be recalled that Alli, while presenting his manifesto to the state yesterday, 19th of July, 2024, on the commencement of open campaign by the INEC, stated that the state had not seen governance since the inception of the APC-led government but cheap, divisive politics.

APC government in 2023 created LCDAs which bill, the Late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu purportedly accented to, “offshore”. Alli said, “only those who wanted to deceive themselves then, and the immediate beneficiaries of the ill-conceived move failed to see the danger in the hurriedly and selfishly passed bill by the ruling APC government in the state. “Even some communities, in protest, vowed to prevent their Children from contesting in the local government election being planned earlier before that policy summersault”. Alli added, “How can you legislatively create LCDAs out of LGAs when a timetable for a purported LGA Election was already running. Till today, the said election has not held underscoring the confusion these people are known for”.

Since they came onboard in 2017, it has been one anti-peoples’ move upon another ranging from: - running a government of the father by the wife and for the children, to shameful but violent attacks on parliamentary sessions, to unabated rifts between a disoriented governor and deputy, to purportedly winning the 2020 governorship election with less than 20% of the registered votes, to creating the lacuna called LCDAs, now dead, thanks to the court, to running the state by proxy; to fight over issues that is constitutionally unambiguous as to who succeeds a governor in the case of incapacitation, to congratulations! by someone who just lost his forerunner, to- nobody wants to be a one-year governor, to O'disorganized primary election of the party, to selfishly attempting to rub the South Senatorial District of its due 8 years, and to attempting to disorganize the political zoning arrangement of the state, to, only God knows what is next, if we let them.

”By now, this party should be tired of saying anything in the media space again. B'oju ba t'ole, s'oju o kii t'ara Ile e ni"? Alli queried, adding that people who once ran the government with them cannot jump to another political party today and be claiming to be saintly governorship candidates.

He called on Sunshiners to reject the “confusionists” called a political party both in its real or neo-appearances as being seen recently. “Take your collective destiny into your hands in the 2024 governorship election or suffer worse governmental ineptitude” Alli warned Sunshiners as he as usual, prayed; Won o ni jewa m'aye o.

He had a better NASS that questioned everything.
