” We note the fact that it is natural for anyone to fall sick, and when it happens, one should not take joy in it.

“All that is needed done is to give the sick person the appropriate support and prayers to recover, rather than to become engrossed in acts capable of more damage to his person or to his character – as every man is prone to ailment.

” The CD appeals to all stakeholders to allow status quo subsist as agreed upon with the president at the Presidential Villa recently; viz, the Governor to continue in office as governor, while the Deputy Governor continues his job as Deputy Governor.

“We implores certain members of the State Executive Council to not view the absence of the Governor as an act out of the ordinary, hence any display of disaffection in the fold.

” The CD calls upon the Ondo State House of Assembly to, clearly, define its goal and drive for it, appropriately, in matters on discuss in the state.

They therefore called “on all indigenes of the state to pray for the speedy recovery of the governor.
