Ondo 2024: Aiyedatiwa seeks adequate security for November polls
Ondo state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has pleaded with the Military and other security agencies to ensure maximum security during the November 16 governorship election in the state.
Aiyedatiwa also reiterated the commitment of his administration to the primary mandate of securing of lives and properties of the people in the state.
He spoke while playing host to the General Officer, Commanding 2 Division, Nigerian Army, Ibadan, Major General Obinna Godwin Onuborgu, in his office, in Akure.
He said his administration has ensured optimal security through the support of conventional security agencies, including the Army.
He said: “Thank you for stopping over and we appreciate your men for providing security to the people. We have been enjoying that support from your men in Ondo state.
“We have some peculiar situations in the State, especially our borders with Edo and others. The Army has always been there to support us anytime there are kidnappings because the police alone cannot do the job.
“We will continue to encourage and support the synergy of the military, police, civil defence and our own homegrown security outfit, Amotekun Corps to enhance our security and protect our borders.”
Major General Onuborgu said he took over the Division on March 13 and that he was in the state to see his troops to encourage them and assess the security situation in the state.
