The Ondo State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, has received praise from Labour Party presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi for his dedication to guaranteeing the protection of the lives and property of the state’s residents through the Amotekun state security agency.
Governor Akeredolu, according to Obi, embodies what Nigerians want right now because he tells the truth at all times, no matter the repercussions.
When the Ondo Governor paid a condolence visit to Akeredolu on Tuesday at the Presidential Lodge, Ondo State Government House, Alagbaka, Akure, the former governor of Anambra State praised the Ondo governor.
According to him, things are going wrong in the country due to the silence of the people but he commended Akeredolu for always speaking up for the people. He charged the chairman of the Southern Governors Forum to continue taking every necessary step to protect his people.
Obi said, “I urge you to continue in that direction. You represent one of those things Nigerians desire; the ability to speak the truth no matter the consequences.
“What is lacking in Nigeria is that we choose to keep quiet when things are going wrong. You have a man here who always speaks when things are going wrong, and I urge you to continue.
“Arm those special security poeple. Take every step to protect your people. It is important and it is your duty. I’m happy that you are speaking out always when necessary. May God Almighty continue to be with you and bless all of you.”

He expressed joy that all her late mother’s children survived her, saying she would be given a glorious and befitting burial.
