The statement reads; “The attention of the Executive Chairman of Ede South Local Government, Hon. Lukman Afolabi (Abere Soose) has been drawn to a purported lied been peddled around by the opposition APC YES OR NO Chairman that, the council workers in Ede South Local Government have resumed work

“Let me reiterate it here that, we are law abiding citizens in Ede South Local Government, our staffs are well cultured and towing the lane of peace.
“The executive team of Ede South Local Government are deeply sad with the way opposition APC are bastardising the structure putting in place by our administration which they failed to do when they are in office, I want to state here on behalf of the good people of Ede South that, the law will take it course in apprehending whoever have hands in vandalising or stole any material in the council unlawfully”
“I want the general public to take note that, those the impostors showing as workers are mere APC members who were among those whom the other time followed their sacked YES/NO officers to burgle the secretariat despite the directive of the State Governor that all councils should be under lock and key.
“I want to assure you all that, we are law abiding citizens as it enshrines in policies and programs of our dear governor, Senator Jackson Nurudeeen Ademola Adeleke and we will remain such. This is just a mere time saving, we are getting there shortly by the grace of God. Let’s us all remain calm as the present storm will soon be over.”
