Ondo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday condemned the demolition of shops in Akure, the state capital, by the state Ministry of Transport.
The party described the action as callous and insensitive, saying it was aimed at sending traders out of business in order to pave way for the new Akure Mall being promoted by the state Government.
APC said the demolition exercise which was said to have been carried out at midnight on Saturday and Sunday, led to looting of goods worth over N100 million.
According to the party, pains of the exercise were most felt along Kajola junction, Oda Road. In a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Steve Otaloro, the party said it was appalling that the state government had not made any statement on the demolitions carried out in a gangster manner.
It said: “This callous action of the Ondo State Government was most unfortunate and one meant to further increase the hardship currently being faced by the people living in the State.
“We condemned outrightly the demolition of these containers and the subsequent looting that ensued thereafter on wares of these traders by the officials of the state Ministry of Transports.
“We therefore sympathise with the people affected by these daylight robbery by the Government officials.
We, however enjoined them to continue to maintain the peace in the state and bear the present unfavourable hardship in doing business in Ondo State, through government multiple taxation and other unfavourable Government policies targeted at businesses in the state.
“One thing that is assured is that at the end of the dark tunnel will come the light.
The wind of change that blew across the nation will also blow across our state very soon and we shall start to enjoy the dividends of democracy in Ondo State”, the party said.
