Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has reiterated his unwavering support for Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, the Commander of the Amotekun Corps, expressing a firm vote of confidence in his leadership.
During the inaugural Annual General Meeting of the Amotekun Corps Cooperative and Thrift Society held on Monday, the Governor dismissed recent social media rumors suggesting plans to oust the Amotekun chief. He emphasized that no amount of misinformation or orchestrated campaigns would sway his decision or undermine Adeleye’s position.
“I pass a vote of confidence on the Amotekun Commander,” Governor Aiyedatiwa stated emphatically. “There are no social media narratives that can remove you. Your commitment to this work is evident.”
The Governor revealed that attempts had been made by certain individuals to incite conflict and report Adeleye with the hope of forcing his removal. However, he made it clear that such tactics would not succeed. “They reported you to me so that I could sack you,” he remarked. “But I have told him, he is going nowhere.”
Emphasizing his administration’s unwavering support for the Amotekun Corps, Governor Aiyedatiwa reaffirmed his commitment to collaborating with all security agencies dedicated to maintaining peace throughout the state.
