The coalition said it has been difficult for non-indigenes doing legitimate businesses in the state to suddenly leave the state after living in harmony with their host communities.
In a communiqué issued at the end of its emergency meeting in Akure, the state capital, by its President, Patrick Otekpo, and Secretary-General, Samson Ebidighi, the coalition urged security agents to protect non-indigenes.
It noted that some non-indigenes were victimised by thugs, allegedly sponsored by the ruling Labour Party (LP).
The coalition said it has not endorsed any political party, adding that it would only embrace good governance and better living condition for non-indigenes.
Otekpo, who doubles as the National President of Niger Delta Youth Awareness Council (NDYAC), said two people were assaulted in Bolorunduro and Idanre for speaking on the political situation in the state.
He said: “For instance, a non-indigene in Bolorunduro, the headquarters of Ondo East Local Government Area, Lawrence Mojuba, was beaten up a few days ago by LP thugs for having the guts to criticise and rate Governor Mimiko low on performance.
“Another person, Segun Olaosebikan (aka Tosibe), was injuried in Idanre by a group of indigenes allegedly loyal to the ruling LP because he refused to support the party in the local government.”
The coalition leader decried the activities of some security operatives in the state, saying they arrest non-indigenes arbitrarily on trumped-up charges, mainly on the orders of the state government.
