Clarifies Allegations of Aiding Illegal Forest Dwellers: Aiyedatiwa's Response
"Heads Up: Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa Speaks Out on Oluwa Forest Land Dispute!"
It's all been said and done regarding the commotion surrounding SAO Agro and the farmers inside Oluwa Forest. The Oluwa farmers have leveled accusations of land grabbing and crop damaging against SAO Agro, despite forking over annual land rent to Ondo State treasury. But, ol' Lucky Aiyedatiwa ain't havin' it.
According to our source, ol' Lucky says the farmers' claims are nothing but a dirty ploy to smear his government's efforts to clean up land usage practices. However, our source also states that farmers have indeed breached the boundary, encroaching on protected forest zones without the proper permits, posing threats to the environment and security.
Now, let's get down to brass tacks: SAO Agro, represented by the sharp-tongued David Olijogin, admits they've got 10,000 hectares on lock, but they assure y'all that they've been paying the state ₦40 million each year. Plus, if they don't plant 123,000 oil palm seedlings within a timeframe, they risk losing a whopping ₦6.5 billion. Ouch!
But, fear not. Ol' Lucky ain't unjust. He insists that he's got a heart for real farmers. The state administration is committed to safeguarding the welfare of authentic farmers and ensuring that only declassified, degraded forest reserves are used for agricultural purposes.
Now, about these allegations that ol' Lucky's buddy, Ayo Sotinrin, is using a private firm to steal farmlands? Well, them's fightin' words! Ol' Lucky calls those allegations "malicious," "unfounded," and a straight-up "character assassination." They say it's all just a smokescreen to divert attention from the real deal.
When did the partnership between SAO Agro and the state government start? Ol' Lucky says it's been operational since 2021, and everything they do is by-the-book, under the watchful eye of the government overseers.
In the end, ol' Lucky promises to investigate the claims of real farmers, separate the wheat from the chaff, and ensure that justice prevails. So, long story short, ol' Lucky ain't giving an inch. Stay tuned for more happenings in Ondo State!
