My Orderly Was Shaking When Kidnappers Confronted Us -Akeredolu
-Says kidnapping now fashionable

Rotimi Akeredolu, Governor of Ondo State, says his orderly became jittery when his convoy encountered a gang of kidnappers, boasting that he cannot be whisked away by the criminals.

He itted that travelling on Nigerian roads has become a major source of worry for the rich and the poor.

The Ondo governor stated this on Sunday night during a live broadcast programme aired on the government-owned Ondo State Radio-Vision Corporation (OSRC) in Akure, the state capital.

"I have encountered them once and even as a governor with my crew, I ed I had to tell my people to move on. My orderly was shaking. But I said wherever they (kidnappers) were, we would confront them," Akeredolu said.

"There is no need to run away. On my way to Ibadan the last time, we saw them and we moved but the advantage is that by the time, we shoot into the air, they scampered into the bush.

"Even if I walk they cannot kidnap me. I have ed the stage. Kidnapping is not limited to those poor people alone, and I agreed that those with convoys might be safe."

The governor, who revealed that his convoy was almost attacked on the Ibadan-Akure road by the suspected kidnappers, stressed that he cannot be kidnapped because he rides in a convoy of armed security men.

On the increasing rate of kidnapping, Akeredolu said: "It is what happened to every other generation. There was a time armed robbery was very prevalent but that is fading away gradually.

"It is becoming a fashion to go into kidnapping. I now know that traveling from here (Akure) to Ibadan is now a source of concern because people now go by rail. But you can go by air from Lagos to Akure and do your business; that is the advantage our government has created.

His Excellency has given us some wise advice, which is that when you suspect there to be kidnappers or armed banditos on the road ahead of you, simply instruct your platoon of armed bodyguards to unleash a barrage of machine-gun fire, so as to frighten the bad guys away.

And for those of you who do NOT travel with armed troops, God bless Nigeria, and thank you for your ha ha ha.

Are you thinking what I'm hthinking?

Yet Yoruba youths see Buhari as their hero and spend most of their precious time attacking and bullying Igbos who have done them no bad, it is well

Otondo. Even if you walk they can't kidnap him. Why not walk on Abuja- Kaduna road and see what happens?

This maybe false.

This guy is a mumu. How many people have money for orderlies or bodyguards. Isn't it the governments job to provide security for their taxpayers. Or are Ondo and Oyo people exempt from taxes and security. This is the problem with Nigeria. We take our votes and vote for Rubbish like this guy

Im not sure Akeredolu was ever ready for governance. Its not every SAN that has the capacity to govern and Akeredolu is one of those.

I pity Ondo people. Your Governor does not fit in the political class of a Yoruba politician. This guy does not know how to talk politics at all. What a mess!

Social media; Nigerian Activists and the government in one picture.

Instead of confronting them with your security team, you shot into the air to scare them away . May God continue to protect the ordinary Nigerians who are left exposed to the consequences of govt's failures.

A governor is not safe with his orderly? Has he changed him now?

Ok. But he is talking about security here.

Do you think he should have kept mum because of 2023 presidency like others, or what?

Dont you think sacrificing Yoruba people and Yorubaland for anyone's 2023 political ambition is too much?

This one is a fake leader, how will you not inform the police about these incidents as if it's a normal thing, so we can go and die like that a bi

Talking security my @ss! He failed to act and secure that road.

He caused kidnappers to retreat into bush when his ADC fired warning shots. He identified kidnappers, no consequence, no arrest, no shoot at sight and kill, no body bag.....but now the people coming behind governor on that road are at risk.

This Governor is telling us kidnapping is a trend and to bear through it like we did armed robbery. People did not bear through armed robbery, we just did not have choice and many people lost lives and property. Is the Governor advising us that government will treat kidnapping and terrorism like they did arm robbery.....use citizen lives and bloodshed to earn security allocations?

This Governor should not return to govern anywhere in Yorubaland. We donate him to go govern in SE.

Bonbonclat!. At least he feels what a common man in the street is feeling every day.

Rubbish talk. How many people can afford taking flight? He's not even ashamed that Kidnappers are having a field day in his state so tey they are now so bold to make attempts at him.

Nigerian leaders are so incompetent and ineffective

Bros, your orderly sef na human being like you na. He no get 2 lives.

Ok
