Two separate protests erupted in front of the Oyo State House of Assembly complex, Agodi Secretariat, Ibadan on Thursday as the house members were about to grill three commissioner-nominees, including the 27-year- old Oluwaseun Fakorede.
The two groups of protesters were all about Fakorede: a group demonstrated in his support, another objected to his nomination as a commissioner.
PDP members made up the anti-Fakorede group, who claimed that Fakorede’s father had defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) before the election.
The PDP protesters urged lawmakers not to screen or confirm the nomination.
