…as state teachers begin indefinite strike

Olufunsho, the wife of re election seeking Governor of Ogun State – ibikunle Amosun got more than she expected in attempt to drum up support for her husband.

The wife of the state head man battling to retain his seat paid a courtesy visits to market women as parts of awareness creation and votes canvassing for the administration of her better half.

Her place of visit was the Sango Market.

According to information available to societynown.com the heavily guarded first lady of Ogun state had arrived the market place all well attired and kick started moves to drum up for her husband’s re election bid in earnest before the table turned.

According to a witness ‘some of the market turned ugly…they started with voicing their anger Governor Amosun’s administration and before you k now it abuses and curses started flying’

Informants however claimed despite the heavy presence of security details at her disposal, the Governor’s wife maintained her cool.

‘When she saw the situation couldn’t be control..she turned her back and moved on to another part to pass her message’ another source divulged.

The verbal aggressors reportedly carried on hurling invectives but were left alone by the governor’s wife convoy.

This development comes as school teachers begin indefinite strike action in the state.

The teachers reportedly took the drastic action over allegations of flouting understanding reached with them by the government of Mr Ibikunle Amosun.

Informants claimed notice of impending strike was issued but not addressed before the stay off work action started today.

Students were seen thronging the streets as teachers refused to attend to them.

A student source disclosed ‘we were told to go home and watch television for further announcement’

An observer interprets the twin incident abuses hurled on the governor’s wife and the indefinite strike action embarked by teachers ‘it certainly doesn’t bode well….it’s a pointer to grave situation on ground’

Governor Amosun faces a mega alliance from oppositions in his attempt at re election.
