Makinde’s proactive policies averted ethnic crisis in Oyo, says group

ASOCIO- POLITICAL support group of the Oyo State Government, Omituntun Initiative in the Diaspora ( OID), has appealed to the citizens of the state to have faith in the Governor Seyi Makinde- led administration. The group said the governor had the capabilities of restoring peace and also finding lasting solution to security challenges in the state.

The socio- political support group, which consists of Nigerian professionals from all walks of life in the United States ( U. S.), United Kingdom ( UK), Canada, New Zealand, Australia, China, Malaysia, Brazil, Republic of Ireland, Germany, Israel, Hungary, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Botswana, South Africa and others, said Makinde’s commitment to protect life and property of the citizens in Oyo State was commendable and should be emulated by all.

Spokesperson of the group, Ayotomiwa Adebayo, in a statement, commended the governor for his honesty, proactive and security policies to curb insecurity in the state.

He noted that Makinde’s timely intervention as a compassionate leader, security management and conflict resolution expert averted ethnic crisis and restored peace to the state despite all the distractions from some unscrupulous elements who wanted to take advantage of the current situation to mislead and spread misinformation to undermine the effort of good governance.

The group urged ethnic activists, political entrepreneurs and chauvinists sowing seeds of discord, hatred and insecurity to desist as their actions could spread like toxic substance through the entire state and explode into ethnic crisis.

“We advise good citizens of Oyo State not to promote items that are disruptive, but carefully assess hate information seriously,” the group said.
