Ondo State Chairmen/Leaders of political parties forum, was the coming together of all the leaders of the various political parties operating in the state and across the entire 18 Local govts and 33 LCDAs.

The Ondo State Chairmen/Leaders of political Parties at the end of their deliberations in Akure, the Ondo state capital, hereby express their sincere gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his prompt and exemplary leadership intervention in the frightening and seemingly endless Political acrimony within the leadership of our great Ondo state, which problems were triggered by loss of trust and power tussle between our governor and his deputy.

Following Mr President’s intervention, and the resolutions passed thereafter, our stance as Chairmen of political parties in the state are as follows;

1) We hereby pass a vote of confidence in the able leadership of our indefatigable, visionary and friendly governor, Arakunrin Odunayo Akeredolu, inspite of his present health challenges. With every sense of responsibility, we make bold to say Arakunrin Akeredolu is a blessing and a gift to Ondo state. A man of candour and exemplary integrity.

2) We as Chairmen of political parties in Ondo state, hereby call for Prayer and Support for our governor Arakunrin Akeredolu, in the conviction that the Almighty God will soon restore him back to his office.He should be supported until the end his tenure as governor.

3) We sincerely advise both the deputy governor, His Excellency Lucky Ayedatiwa, and Ondo state House of Assembly, to tread the path of honour and integrity by religiously adhering to the counsel and terms of the peace brokered by Mr President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for the enhancement of enduring peace and tranquility in Ondo state
The status quo ante must remain untampered with.

4) We have observed that peace and harmony is gradually returning to Ondo state after Mr President intervention and governance is once again finding full expression in the state .
The suspended state executive meeting has resumed to the admiration of Ondo state indigenes.
Economic growth is steadily picking up in Ondo state and the state capital, Akure is beginning to wear a new look. Thanks to all concerned.

5) Similarly, Ondo state Chairmen of political parties appreciate our governor Arakunrin Akeredolu, for the calmness and equanimity of mind with which he accepted the resolutions of Mr President, may God continue to guide and bless you sir, Arakunrin Akeredolu. Your response is a demonstration of maturity, steadfastness and unfeigned affection for your people.

6) It is on record that after the peace accord, the following significant state events have taken place at the Executive Arm of Government:
1. State Executive Council Meeting, presided over by the Deputy Chairman of the Council, who also doubles as the Deputy Governor of the state, H.E Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
2. Approval and payment of all state staff salaries and benefits.
3. Additionally approval of 35,000 naira palliatives for all state workers
4. Payment of pensions and gratuities, and palliatives bonus to all pensioners of Ondo state.
5.. Construction sites in many parts of Ondo state are witnessing activities.
6) Suspicion and distrust among the high profile leaders are fast giving way to harmony and pleasant disposition.

The Legislative Arm of government is not left behind, Legislators have also embarked on many Progressive and people oriented decisions at their various plenaries where some vital resolutions and approvals have been achieved. They have been able to achieve and not limited to the followings:
1. Reading and affirmation of the Peace Accord brokered by Mr. President.
2. Approval of the Local Government Areas and LCDA caretaker Committee members.
3. Various over sight functions in one accord.

However, we are not unaware of some dissident elements and hired agents of destabilisation that have been engaging the media under the guise of several names and titles with the sole objective of truncating the present peaceful atmosphere in Ondo state.

We want to assure all and sundry that Ondo state people will not fold their arms and allow these inordinately ambitious agents of darkness to drag us backward anymore, we have accepted the peace Accord in good faith and there is no going back, the Status Quo ante must remain. No amount of mischievous media propaganda can derail our peaceful atmosphere.

In conclusion, we want to passionately appeal to the Executive and Legislative Arms of government to maintain harmony, cordiality and sound interpersonal relationship in order to preserve this new found Peace we are currently enjoying in Ondo state, may the love and peace of the Lord abide with us in Ondo state.

We remain yours sincerely.
Chairmen of political parties in Ondo state.
