Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2024 gubernatorial candidate in Ondo State, Agboola Ajayi, has blamed the spate of insecurity in the state, on the ill-preparedness of the Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The PDP chieftain made his feelings known following a surge in the killing of farmers in the state.
According to the former Deputy Governor, the recent security lapses noticed in the state are due to Aiyedatiwa’s lack of readiness to govern.
He went on to advise the incumbent governor to seek help in solving the security crisis in Ondo State.

He further urged him to revamp the Amotekun Corps, as well as put in place the necessary measures to curb the situation.
Ajayi, while speaking about the level of insecurity in the state said, “Let me underscore the fact that the security challenge confronting Ondo State is not an entirely new development, but governments before the present have adeptly managed this odious crisis and disallowed it to fester to the level it is today.
“While I condemn the sloppiness and lethargy with which Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa is conducting the affairs of our state, it completely underscores his ill-preparedness and incompetence to be in the saddle.
“The need to take full grip of this crisis cannot be delayed a day longer, I therefore call on the Governor to seek help and take actions that will take Ondo State back from the grip of invading bandits forthwith.
“Due to the fact that Mr Governor takes over a billion naira as a security vote, it is time to make the administration of this fund bear results in the interest of the State; we the people do not deserve anything less.”
