Don’t Play Politics By Telling Lies From The Pit Of Hell – Aiyedatiwa Blasts Ajayi

The Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has labelled the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state, Agboola Ajayi, that he receives N1.2 billion as security votes for the state as lies from the pit of hell.

According to Aiyedatiwa, who is also the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the November 16 governorship election, Ajayi is only trying to play politics with his claims.

The Governor made the denial on Sunday during the Ondo State governorship election debate organized by Channels Television and its partners.

Though he didn’t reveal how much he gets as security vote, Aiyedatiwa narrated that all government expenditures are governed by budgets, and the details of the Ondo State budget are available online.

“You don’t just play politics by coming here to the whole world that somebody is drawing N1.2 billion as a security vote. That is a lie from the pit of hell,” he said.

He urged the PDP candidate to get accurate information and stop misleading the public.

“The budget is being published; it is on the net. You will see the appropriation for security votes and other expenditures, both capital and recurrent.

“What he is saying is not true. How can you say that during the Edo election week, I withdrew N1.2 billion? Am I the one contesting for the election? I am surprised you can’t say the truth,” The Governor added.

On the security situation in Ondo, Aiyedatiwa said the state is safe, adding that Ondo remains one of the safest states in the country.

“I can tell you that the people of Ondo State, not just Owo, feel more secure right now because, after that attack, security is one of the mandates of the government.

“We also brought out the initiative that led to the creation of our homegrown security network Amotekun because we believe that conventional security at the time could not handle the security challenges that we faced in Ondo State,” he added.
