ABEOKUTA — Palpable  anxiety enveloped  residents of  the ancient town of Ilaro, the headquarters of Yewa South Local Government  Area after hundreds of youth members of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN,   yesterday threw  caution into  the wind over  alleged plot  by Governor Ibikunle Amosun and leaders of the  party in  the state  to impose Chairmanship candidate on the people of the area.

This occured barely 72 hours after some youths in Odeda Local Government Area protested  and destroyed property of a   Senator over the same allegation.

The angry protesters, who stormed the ACN Secretariat in the local government situated  on Leslie Road, in Ilaro, around  11.30am, vented anger on anybody on sight before they started vandalizing  the party Secretariat.

The protesters, who alleged that Amosun  and the leaders of the party were planning to impose one of the chairmanship aspirant identified as Shafiu Odebiyi  broke all the window louvers, tore the campaign posters and set ablaze the banners of Odebiyi in front of the  party secretariat.

An eye-witness told Vanguard that some  youths in the  party  protested in Ilaro secretariat of the ACN to condemn the alleged planned imposition of Odebiyi.
