Reports just coming in from Akure, capital of Ondo State inform that some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state are currently staging a protest at the entrance of the Ondo State House of Assembly. According to our correspondent at the scene of the protest, the protesters said they would not allow Governor Olusegun Mimiko to enter the assembly complex to present the 2017 appropriation bill to the state’s lawmakers. The Assembly was sealed off by the state police command following a leadership crisis in the assembly. It was gathered from the security men at the assembly complex that the gate would be opened for the governor to present the bill when he comes in. Recall that Gov Mimiko’s tenure remain three weeks. The protesters also said they were protesting against an alleged move by the governor to send 38 bills to the state assembly for passage into law. The leader of protesters, Mr. Saka Yusuf-Ogunleye, who spoke with journalists at the assembly entrance, alleged that Governor Mimiko was lobbying the lawmakers to earn life pension from the resources of the state. “We want to appeal to the Governor to leave the state peaceful and not to create burden on the incoming administration with his 2017 budget,” Ogunleye stated.
