Why It’s Wrong To Associate Red Beret Wearing Supporters Of Gov Aiyedatiwa With Thuggery
Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot Soldiers (LACO-FS) is a peaceful, mainstream campaign organisation for the Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa, and has never been in anyway associated with thuggery, brigandage, or anything untoward.
Joyfully, our team has been campaigning across the state among our party members in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in preparation for the governorship primary election coming up next month.
It is, however, benumbing coming across grave expressions on the social media, especially through some twitter handles (now rebranded as X), that our group is bringing cultism to Ondo State for the simple reason that we don red berets to our campaign rallies.
While those bandying the insinuations of thuggery or cultism have bombarded the net with their tar brushes, they fail woefully to prove any instance of violence in our activities, and find it hard to produce any pictorial or camera evidence of where Aiyedatiwa supporters under the aegis of LACO-FS are armed with any weapon at all, much less a dangerous one.
Certainly, such critics are only full of bile and are consumed by their giddy belicosity, in envy of the unstoppable love that the people of Ondo State have for Governor Aiyedatiwa. In simple logic of semantics, a foot soldier stands for a committed supporter in readiness to work with loyalty and dedication, which we indeed stand for, in our support for the election of Aiyedatiwa come next November.
Doomdayers and naysayers should produce proof when alleging violence; otherwise, they should keep silence and watch from the sidelines, as we march on in this show of love for a dedicated Governor whom the people of Ondo State want, for the next term of four years.
Therefore, LACO-FS comes in peace.
