Ondo North Progressive Like Minds for Good Governance Condemns the Pull-Him-Down Attitude of Dismissed Amotekun Officer, Julius Ekujuni
The Ondo North Progressive Like Minds for Good Governance has expressed deep concern over the recent unguarded statements and defamatory actions by a dismissed member of the Ondo State Security Network, codenamed Amotekun Corps, Mr. Julius Ekujuni, against the Commander of the Corps. The group described Ekujuni’s conduct as not only reckless and malicious but also an act capable of breeding disunity, mistrust, and unnecessary tension within the security architecture of the state.
In a statement issued today, the group noted that the Commander has demonstrated professionalism, discipline, and commitment to the protection of lives and property across the state, thereby upholding the noble objectives of the Amotekun Corps as envisioned by Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa’s administration. The group further emphasized that attempts by disgruntled elements to malign the image of the Corps’ leadership are mischievous and should be disregarded by the general public.
The Ondo North Progressive Like Minds for Good Governance maintained that Julius Ekujuni’s dismissal was a consequence of his unwholesome behaviours, indiscipline, and insubordination, which are inimical to the operational ethics of a security outfit. It is, therefore, unacceptable for a dismissed officer to embark on a campaign of calumny aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the institution that once gave him the platform to serve.
The group called on all peace-loving citizens, particularly within Ondo North Senatorial District and the state at large, to remain united and supportive of the Commander and the Amotekun Corps in their patriotic duty of safeguarding the state. It further warned that actions such as those exhibited by Mr. Ekujuni are detrimental to the collective interest of Ondo State and will not be tolerated.
The statement concluded by reaffirming the group’s unwavering support for the Ondo State Government and the leadership of the Amotekun Corps in their continued quest to promote peace, unity, and good governance.
