Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed yesterday called on the people of Erin-Ile and Offa to remain calm and maintain law and order in the aftermath of a recent Supreme Court’s judgement concerning the boundary dispute between the communities.
Ahmed, in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Muyideen Akorede, urged the people of both communities to refrain from publishing or otherwise circulating unauthorized interpretations of the said judgement as the state government was employing dialogue as a means of finding an amicable and sustainable solution to the dispute.
He said his government would continue to uphold its constitutional mandate of upholding the welfare and security of all citizens and residents of Offa, Erin-Ile and all communities in the state.
He, therefore, urged the resident in all parts of the two towns to go about their normal and lawful activities as the government was currently in consultation with their leaders to resolve the issue.
Ahmed described Erin-Ile and Offa as peace-loving and long-standing neighbours with a shared commitment to developing in an atmosphere of mutual trust and peaceful coexistence.
He said the state government would do all in its power to sustain that understanding.
