Consultation Goes Wrong As Ondo Lawmaker Is Chased Out Of Constituency

It was one terrible day that would remain unforgettable in the political experience of Honorable Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi, a member of Ondo State House of Assembly who represents Owo Constituency 1.

The Lawmaker who is also the majority leader of the house had visited his Constituency on Monday to seek their supports as he plans to return to the house in 2023.

But little did he know that the Youths in his Constituency were waiting for a day he would come back to seek their supports ahead of 2023.

The Lawmaker who was accompanied by some security aides was said to have escaped the attack by the whisker as the angry Youths invaded the venue and started petting him with stones and sticks.

The chiefs and other APC chieftains at the venue were reportedly not spared in the attack as many of them ran in different directions.

The anger of the youths was said to have born out of non performance and failure of the lawmaker to sponsor any bill that could impact the lives of his constituents in the last three and half years.

In a viral video, the youths were seen raining curses on the lawmaker and his entourage while they were chasing them out of the area.

An armed policeman supposedly, Ogunmolasuyi’s orderly and others were seen running in the video.

When contacted, Ogunmolasuyi said he was attacked by thugs mobilized by his opponents in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, adding that he has done a commendable job in distributing scholarships, palliatives, and other developmental projects.

The lawmaker claimed that he was in Iloro for a meeting when a PDP aspirant sent thugs to the location.

“Nobody can chase me away. It can never happen. We held a meeting at Iloro Ward and after I left I was told there was an attack by the PDP people.

“I was not there for general campaign, I was there to meet with my party people. It was after I left. Those people in the video are thugs. I had left and was told there was a video circulating.

“Those guys are thugs. Those guys are not the people that will reject anybody. They were all PDP people.”

Meanwhile, the Publicity Secretary of PDP in the state, Kennedy Peretei, dismissed the allegation, he stated that it was APC members that drove Ogunmolasuyi out of a ward meeting.
