Protesters Besiege Obasanjo’s House In Abeokuta by lakezone67(m): 8:08am On Apr 20, 2016
Hundreds of indigenes and residents of Sango-Ijoko in Ado-Odo/Ota local government area of Ogun State yesterday, April 19 besieged the hilltop mansion of former president Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta in protest to what they called ‘boundary anomaly’ of the proposed Sango- Ijoko Local Council Development Area (LCDA) in the state.
According to leadership, the aggrieved protesters bearing placards with various inscriptions, called on the former president to save them from what they described as unjust boundary adjustment.
The group, led by Chief Aderemi Quadri and Chief Idowu Olaniyi expressed concern over the proposed creation of 37 LCDAs out of the existing 20 local government areas by the Governor Ibikunle Amosun-led administration which they claim will merge their communities that of Ota.
The group however submitted a petition at the residence of the former president for “necessary action because he was not at home at the time.
They then moved to the State House of Assembly, and called on lawmakers not to allow the ceding of some of their communities to another LCDA.
According to them, the impending arrangement will deprive Sango of its garage, market, primary and secondary schools and only health centre.
“Our primary purpose of coming here is to press forward our agitation that our community should not be separated or divided. We are hearing as a matter of rumour that part of our community will be merged with Ota and basically these areas, Araromi, Ketere and others are the core settlers of Sango,” the group told the House.
At the House of Assembly complex, the Speaker, Suraj Adekunbi, promised that the legislature would look into their agitation and their petition.
