 The Ogun State chapter of the People's Democratic Party, the PDP, has blamed the Shagamo riot on Governor Dakbua Biyodun's directive that residents should continue to spend old narrow notes despite the expiration of the deadline given by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Earlier violent protests began in front of the palace of the Aqaibu of Remeland, or Baba Babatundi Aja'i, with some youths barricading roads and setting bonfires. The set three commercial banks on fire invaded the council's secretariat and cut away the legislative house maze. Abyodun, however, condemned the Shagamo riot and described it as politically motivated. Addressing newsmen, the state secretary of PDP, Son Desolaring, dismissed Abyodun's allegation saying the governor also distributed old notes to the residents, thereby instigating people against the federal government. They pretended to be a protest on the narrow design or the cash swap. But what I've seen this morning does not tell me that there were no other motives behind this protest. It's obvious that the current government had abandoned the fundamental and constitutional responsibility of providing security of life and property because the governor of the state is the chief security officer of the state. For the election, I want to believe and admonish the state government to desist from inciting the public against any political party. Leaders should make statements that will restore cabinet, that will bring about peace and tranquility in the society. Not statements that is capable of causing further destruction within the society. And this is uncalled for and it should not be expected of any person, what is to be called a leader in us.
