The Majority Leader of Ondo State House of Assembly, Mr. Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi, popularly called West, has escaped attack, as he and his entourage were chased out of Iloro community by youths over alleged poor performance and imposition.
Sources said the action was carried out when Ogunmolasuyi met All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders in the community.
Ogunmolasuyi, who represents Owo Constituency 1, said he was not chased out, but attacked by thugs mobilised by his opponents in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said he had performed well by giving scholarship to his constituents, providing palliatives and embarking on developmental projects.
Ogunmolasuyi said he was at Iloro for a meeting when a PDP aspirant from the area mobilised thugs to the venue.
He said: “Nobody can chase me away. It can never happen. We held a meeting at Iloro ward and after I left, I was told there was an attack by the PDP members. I was not there for general campaign. I was there to meet my party members. The incident happened after I had left. Those people in the video are hoodlums.
“My contribution is enough to speak for me. If I have not done well, I will not say I want to re-contest.
“I have represented my people well and done many things. This is why I can confidently say I want to seek re-election.”
Ondo PDP spokesman Kennedy Peretei, who dismissed the allegation, insisted that APC members drove Ogunmolasuyi out of the ward meeting.
“It was an APC meeting. PDP members were not there. They (APC members) drove him away because he is seeking re-election,” Peretei said.
