The people of Ijero Ekiti, Ijero Local Government Area of Ekiti State, yesterday defied the early morning torrential downpour by trooping out en masse to
protest against the state government for rebuffing the creation of Ijero Municipal Local Council Development Authority for the town.
As early as 7am, Ijero Ekiti became tense on Tuesday, as protesters bore placards with various inscriptions and marched round the town to show their resentment about the inability of the government to create Ijero Municipal LCDA. Awe said it was repugnant and unresponsive for the state government to have turned down agitation for the establishment of Ijero Municipal LCDA with four wards, when lesser and smaller towns were given such privileges.
“We have suffered decades of political marginalisation in the Ekiti geopolitical configuration. We are appealing to Dr Kayode Fayemi’s administration to correct this political anomaly being experienced by the good people of Ijero Ekiti”, he said.
