Hon Patrick Obahiagbon
The peace in Edo state is currently being disturbed my angry protesters as popular grammarian, Hon Patrick Obahiagbon had dangerous objects hauled at him by an irate mob.
Thousands of angry Edo residents made up civil society groups, students, and market women hauled objects at the direction of the Chief of Staff to the Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Hon Patrick Obahiagbon, yesterday while insisting that state governor must be physically present to listen to their grievances, reports the Leadership.
The protesters staged a peaceful protest along major streets against the state government and called on the governor to reverse the implementation of the Land Use Charges, planned increment of tuition fees of tertiary institution and multiple taxation, among others.
Security agents made up men of the Nigeria Police Force and Directorate of State Services, DSS, were on ground to ensure that the protest was not hijacked by hoodlums when it began at about 9am from Freedom House along Akpakpava Street.
Some of the messages on the leaflets circulated read: “No to Impunity, No to Reckless Spending of Tax Payers Money, No to arbitrary increase of school fess and No to sub-standard educational system.’
They later marched to Government House to formally intimate the state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of their demands.
The Chief of Staff to the governor, Hon Patrick Obahiagbon who was on ground to receive the protesters was shouted at while some youths threw objects at him as they insisted that the governor must address them.
