The Olugbenga Edema Campaign Organisation of the New Nigeria People’s Party in the off-cycle governorship election in Ondo State, has berated Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and the Chairman of Ilaje Local Government Area of the state, Ms Toyin Ogungbure, over the arbitrary arrest of its chieftain, Mr Banji Orogbemi. While demanding the immediate release of Orogbemi, the campaign organisation accused Aiyedatiwa and Ogungbure of being intoxicated with power.
'We viewed the governor’s actions as an abuse of power because such arbitrary arrests are unacceptable in a democratic society.
