WATCH: Angry youths protest 10 years of blackout in Ondo
Hundreds of angry youths in Ondo State, on Sunday, protested against ten years of power outage in the South senatorial district of the state.
The protesters during the exercise, lamented utter marginalisation of the riverine area by the state government.
The youths, under the aegis of Ilaje Advancement Forum (IAF), mobilised themselves at Igbokoda, headquarters of Ilaje Local Government Area at the weekend, chanting “Ko sina, ko sibo,” meaning, “no light, no election.”
The protest, however, led to traffic gridlock in the town and paralysed economic activities for many hours as the youths armed with placards embarked on peaceful procession.
The placards read: “Ilaje: enough is enough; What offence has Ilaje people committed; Ondo State government has failed us; OSOPADEC is fake, NDDC is fraud; No light, no election,” among others.
