The former governor of Oyo State, Rasheed Ladoja, has stated that President Bola Tinubu’s involvement in the current political unrest in Rivers State ought not to be misinterpreted as a danger to democratic principles.
On Sunday, while welcoming dignitaries to his home in Ibadan for the Eid-el-Fitr festivities, Ladoja spoke out in support of the President’s actions, asserting that these measures have contributed to stabilizing the region.
“The interim measures implemented by the President have ushered in a period of relative calm within the state,” he stated.
Ladoja urged the elders and prominent political figures implicated in the Rivers conflict to adopt dialogues as a means toward achieving peace, emphasizing that individuals genuinely committed to serving the public ought to be willing to engage in conversations.
He appealed to the people of Rivers State and all involved parties to stay calm while awaiting the outcome of the lawsuit submitted by the PDP governors, cautioning them against causing undue stress.
Ladoja emphasized the core spirit of Ramadan, urging Nigerians to extend their charitable actions past the fasting months and advocating for a more unselfish and empathetic community.
” numerous individuals have undergone voluntary and mandatory fasts because of insufficient food availability prior to the start of Ramadan,” he pointed out.
“Beyond abstaining from sin, Ramadan also instructs us to acknowledge and support those lacking fundamental necessities for survival. We should adopt a life of sacrifice,” Ladoja noted.
He appealed to kind-hearted Nigerians to maintain the essence of generosity and compassion, making sure that those less fortunate are not overlooked in Nigeria’s social and economic framework.
