2019 election: Ajimobi warns NURTW, RTEAN members against being used to cause mayhem
warning to leaders of the drivers' unions not to allow their members
to be used by politicians to cause mayhem as political parties
intensify campaigns for the 2019 general elections.
Ajimobi gave this warming when he led the campaign train for the All
Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Mr. Adebayo Adelabu and
other candidates of the party in Egbeda/Ona Ara constituency.
The governor, while addressing leaders of the National Union of Road
Transport Workers (NURTW) and Road Transport Employers Association of
Nigeria (RTEAN), who also attended the rally, warned that any member
of both unions caught causing trouble during the APC or any of the
political party's campaign would be brought to justice.
Ajimobi said, "We are warning the transport unions in Oyo State
against infighting or inter-unions imbroglio. I am begging you to
please let peace reign. But, if any of you foment trouble after this
admonition, you will be suspended immediately.
"Not only that; you will face the full wrath of the constituted
authority. Our administration enjoys the people's support because of
the prevailing peace across the state and we will not allow you to
truncate it for any reason.
"We have performed well enough in the almost eight years that we have
been in the saddle and we have earned the trust and support of the
good people of Oyo State in the coming elections. You are also free to
support us, but don't attack anybody."
The governor solicited the support of the people of the area for
Adelabu as well as the APC Oyo Central Senatorial candidate, Senator
Teslim Folarin and other candidates of the party in the 2019 general
elections.
Ajimobi said he was canvassing for the people's votes based on record
of unmatched achievements that he had so far recorded, in the areas of
urbanization, peace and security, industrialization, healthcare,
social welfare, education and job creation.
The governor added that the administration led by him had also
revamped the agriculture sector, promoted the welfare of the workforce
and had positively impacted the people's standard of living.
Ajimobi said, "The APC settled for Adelabu as our gubernatorial
candidate because of the sterling qualities we saw in him. This is not
to say that other aspirants were not of first class brains like him.
We are assuring you that he will not only sustain the good work we
have laid a solid foundation for, he will consolidate on them for the
good of our people. I'm assuring you that he will not allow a
recurrence of the brigandage that we stopped in 2011.
"If our choice will not deliver, he will not get there. But, having
consulted widely, I'm assuring you that he will deliver on the
campaign promises of good governance and accelerated development.
Apart from the roads and physical projects that we have started and
completed, Adelabu will finish ongoing projects when he takes over
from me by the grace of God and support of all of you."
APC State Chairman, Chief Akin Oke, who raised the hands of all the
candidates at the occasion, urged the people of the state to vote the
party's candidates during the coming election.
