Breaking: Governor Akeredolu Reveals Why Ahmed Gulak Was Killed

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state has reacted to the gruesome murder of Mr. Ahmed Gulak, a former political adviser to Ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan.

 

 

Recall that The Publisher Nigeria had earlier reported that Gulak was shot dead by unknown gunmen in Ngor-Okpala LGA of Imo state on Saturday evening. Akeredolu described the killing as ‘senseless’.

“The news of the death of an APC chieftain and former Special Adviser on Political Matters in the last Administration, Ahmed Gulak, in Owerri, Imo State, this morning, is very shocking and disturbing. The details of the tragic incident remain sketchy. A press statement credited to the Imo State Police Command claimed that some bandits were responsible for the gruesome murder of a man who was a visitor to the State. This is unacceptable.”

“This is one murder too many. It is senseless and wicked. The perpetrators of this heinous act are enemies of this country. This contrivance is meant to mislead, confuse and destroy. It bears the unmistakable, despicable imprints of fifth columnists bent on setting the country on the path of conflagration. These criminals must not be allowed to succeed.”

“We want to use this medium to express our solidarity with our brother Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma. We admonish him and other Governors in the South Eastern States to brace up, and confront the current security challenge to put an end to the bloodbath in the land.The enemies of the people always employ the weapon of fear to create disaffection in the polity.”

He added that the killing was calculated at instigating Nigerians against each other.

“This cowardly act is calculated to instigate Nigerians against each other, particularly Northerners, against the Igbo living outside the South East. We must confront the enemies of the people with a view to neutralizing them. This is definitely not the time for political correctness. Banditry should not be allowed to subvert the legitimacy of the current Government at all levels.”

“We call on all security agencies to collaborate with a view to unveiling the criminal elements sponsoring and undertaking terrorist acts. they must be punished, severely.”
