“This cabals who are retrogressive elements within the Nigeria Political Corridors have targeted Hon.Tunji-Ojo whose short stay as the head of the Interior Ministry has become the star boy of the administration through his life changing implemented policies.
“It is very worrisome as this Anti-Tunji Ojo cabals have decided to attack the active youth in the administration and trying as hard to project him in a bad light by smearing his image in public and social media domains.
“They have chosen to thread the path of dishonour by advertently trying to drag the name of the revered Minister of Interior, the substantive Minister of Ondo State and a GOLDEN Youth of Akoko extraction in Tinubu's cabinet.
“We are in solidarity with the people of Akokoland and by extension Ondo State that is why we are rallying support for him at these trying periods and to encourage him not too shudder.

“We condemned in its entirety the shameful act by some so called scrupulous leaders that are also behind this awful act and we have a word of caution for them that Hon.Tunji Ojo's rising political profile is not humanly made but by divine will.
“We want to reassure him that this young man represented Ondo State well and is today in the class of the best in Bola Tinubu's cabinet which he proven beyond reasonable doubt within a very short period of his emergence as the Minister of the Ministry of Interior.
“He has come with far-reaching reforms that have transformed the Ministry of Interiors in such a geometric dimension that has astonished skeptics and cynics which this anti BTO mafia, should desist from this satanic agenda.
“He has not promoted himself but he is divinely favoured by God beyond the recent scandalous negative advocacy linking him to the recent scandal at the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs which does not in any way directly concern his person.
“It is even very shameful that those smearing his image never cross check their facts that he had resigned from the company which was allegedly involved five years ago why are they defaming him.
“It is therefore unimaginable that a campaign of calumny against Hon.Tunji-Ojo when for the first time in recent times that Ondo State is parading one of the best youths from South West at this hour.
