“We urge the citizenry to be vigilant and provide the security agencies with details of suspicious activities that can undermine the peace in our state.”
The declaration followed widespread violence across the state capital on Friday aftermath the killing of a former Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Omolafe Aderiye, by unknown gunmen on Thursday night.
Fayemi, who noted that the security agencies had taken control of the situation, urged them not to relent in performing their constitutional role of protecting lives and property in our state.
He said, “Administrations come and go; politics can be frenetic when the stakes are high; but by the grace of the Almighty God, our state remains for all time, therefore the peave of our land is not negotiable.”
The Governor appealed to the people to see themselves as brothers despite their political differences by embracing civility and empathy.
He said, “Let us deal truthfully with our youth, who are so liable to be led astray by unbridled political fervour, by seeing them as our children rather than as conscripts or fodder for our objectives.
“Let us work together to stop the violence and brigandage that has brought about serious embarrassment to our state in the last few days.”
