The Governor was speaking to staff of the Federal Teaching Hospital, Ido Ekiti and talked of the kidnappings which have been affecting the state for the past two weeks.
He told the staffs that his administration will make sure Mrs. Aladeneka, would regain her freedom and won’t stop until peace returns to Ekiti state.
Fayose said: “Mrs. Aladeneka would soon be with us. I appreciate you for being your brothers’ keeper. It could be anybody. It could be your brother. “Let me tell you that I share this sorrow with you. This is one of the burdens I carry with you. I am sure that she will come back to join us.
He denied rumours that the kidnappings were due to the political landscape of the state, and called on the people to support security officials.
“It is not about APC or PDP whether you are politician or not, everybody must join hands with government to unravel the security issue, and bring it to an end.”We are calling on all Ekiti indigenes, irrespective öf their party affiliation and all security agencies to support the government to bring this unholy development to an end in a bid to get the kidnapped released and put paid to such occurrences.
“If they were robbers, we can go after them, but kidnappers, you have to strategize first because the kidnapped is still with them. I can’t expose our strategy. The kidnappers have agents among the security apparatus and the public. What Aladeneka and others need now is your prayers.
He explained the root of the recent lawlessness in the state was due to a jailbreak but promised that his government is on the case.
“ When we had a jailbreak, they regrouped and started terrorizing Ekiti but we subdued and got them. We have rearrested over 199 and others have fled the state.
“My government will do everything to protect lives and property. We will strengthen the borders and the streets. Let experienced people handle this. “They are already working. You have elected me to do this. You know I have the capacity. You are important to us. If you have any issue, call me. My number is in the public domain,’’ he said.
