The governor, Akeredolu was saluted by members of the match parade and in return, they were applauded for their highest regard for the governor.
Meanwhile, the governor still has scores to settle with the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, regarding the sudden hike in tuition fee levied on students.
There were eruptions of great discord amongst the students and the security agencies at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, AAUA, Ondo State University of Science and Technology, Okitipupa, OSUSTECH, and Rufus Giwa Polytechnic Owl, RUGIPO.
Peaceful protests have surfaced in order to appease the governor but it looks as if the governor is hell bent on his decision.
Meanwhile, students were immediately given a mid semester break in order to suppress the ongoing brouhaha.
We hope the governor tempers justice with mercy on the stinkingly impoverished masses.
