Alhaji Abass Oloko, a prominent Mogaji in Ibadan, has said that Governor Seyi Makinde should not be blamed for the security lapses in the state.
Oloko, who is the vice-chairman of the Oyo State Tourism Board, said that Nigeria and not only Oyo is battling insecurity, adding that everybody must join hands with the governor to achieve peace.
According to him, any attempt to lay the blame on Makinde alone will not achieve any objective.
”I have watched the situation of things in the state since the last few months and I can say that we all need to support the incumbent administration its bid to rid the state of insecurity. It should not be politicized for anything. We don’t have any other state to call ours. What we should concerned about is how solve this issue together.
”I recall how Governor Seyi Makinde, since the inception of his administration, has invested in security of this state. I make bold to say that there is none of the security agents that hasn’t been assisted. He holds regular meetings with them. What we think we should do is to also give credible security information as and when due so as to help our security agencies in carrying out their duties effectively and efficiently.
”Also, all of us know those who are security threats in our areas, we should endeavor to alert the security agencies to this. By nipping it in the bud, the more safer it will make our dear state,” he added.
He, however, urged the security agencies to follow the normal process if at all they want to invite Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi Auxilliary for any allegations and not to resort to self help.
Oloko said Auxilliary has a traceable address like anyone, and that the security agencies should not do anything that will further worsen the security situation of the state.
