“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 relationships to preserve this newfound peace we are currently enjoying in Ondo state.”
