Ilutitun APC Youths have disassociated themselves from the purported endorsement of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for next year’s governorship election in Ondo State.
According to a statement issued on behalf of the youths by Olafunmi Akinyele: “We have been inundated with calls and inquiries from different quarters calling our attention to a shameful and ignoble act by some persons from our beloved Ilutitun who claimed to have spoken for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ilutitun Osooro that they have endorsed Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa some few days ago.
“It hurts to admit that we are sorry for this abnormality from persons whose reach is not beyond their selfish interest.
“For a fact, none of the persons who allegedly signed the press statement ought to have the temerity to speak for Ilutitun APC while we have elected representatives. But these are people who are fighting dangerously for relevance and political patronage despite being around for decades without any positive impact on the entire Moribodo community.

“We have been left to wonder why they have allowed their selfishness to becloud their sense of reasoning and love for the town if they ever did. It beats the imagination of all and sundry the audacity of these conspirators in their deliberate act to have relegated the collective interest of the Moribodo community to this embarrassing level due to their greed, averts and selfishness. Can this misnomer ever happen in any of Ikale towns? Certainly no. This bizarre behaviour of never-do-well and bootlickers of will not be accepted in our beloved Moribodo community.
“It is also important to note that Ondo South remains the most neglected of all the districts in the State and it deserves special attention. There’s no denying the fact that for Ondo South to match up with others, it needs gubernatorial power for a maximum of Eight years. The truncation of the Olusegun Agagu administration marked a stagnancy in various developmental projects being carried out in the South at that time. While we accept that government is a continuum, Lucky Aiyedatiwa and his minions in Ilutitun Osooro should know that four years is not enough to fix the rot in the South.
“Conclusively, we will like to use this medium to warn these set of people to desist from selling our rights when they have eaten their cakes in full.
“We, the youths, must develop and take care of our future that’s now upon us. Your generation has failed us and it will be in your best interest to take a back seat while we take our destiny in our own hands.”
