Ondo bitumen: Group berates borofice

A group, known as Ondo Development Forum (ODF), has upbraided the senator representing Ondo North in the Senate, Ajayi Borofice, for consistently making efforts to work against the interest of the state.

In a statement signed by its publicity secretary and obtained by The Guardian, Eric Fatukasi, the group commended the Federal Government for its promise to support the state’s bitumen exploration project, noting that the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi’s comments on the project has exposed the lies of Senator Borofice and his hatred for the people of the state.

While praising the minister for taking the pain to visit the deposit grounds and interact with the explorers, to “ascertain their competence for the job as against what Borofice wants us to believe”, ODF said Borofice, by his “previous vomit over the project has exposed himself as a mischief maker, a misfit and one who is never happy with the progress being made by the state government”

The group said Borofice has gone beyond breaching the peace in the state by organising attacks against his fellow party men and aspirants.
