Ibadan woke up today to see protesters in truck accompanied by motorcycle riders chanting war song that means "help us remove SEYI MAKINDE", 'ẹbawa yọ S'eyi Makinde!'.
Our reporter who approached the protesters by showing 'solidarity' carrying fresh leaves as the protesters revealed that the protests was all about Gov. S'eyi Makinde's refusal to address the urgently needed relocation of those families who were affected by the demolition of houses as occasioned by the construction of the Ibadan Circular Road.
The state was not in tumult aa the protesters passed through major road in Ibadan.
Interviewing some onlookers who hurriedly lined up the road to see what was going on suggest that the protests might be sponsored.
One of those interview who begged anonymity said "this people may be sponsored by intraparty dissenting voices in the Oyo State ruling PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY, PDP who wants Gov. S'eyi Makinde high handedness stopped ". The woman went further to even suggest names of a business mongol of Ibadan who some people are taunting to come out for the gubernatorial race in the ruling party come 2027.
While pressed to escalate on her insinuation, the woman said MOGAJI's and some elders in Ibadan land have been having nocturnal meetings on this in the last few days.
"Those whose houses were demolished are already demoralized and financially recked that they may not have enough money and strength to organize a protest for now" she said and concluded that she would support it if it happens.
We are set to give you further updates as it happens!
