Police disperse anti-Obasanjo protesters in Ekiti

Vanguard Online Edition "THE police yesterday dispersed protesters who were opposed to the visit of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to Ekiti State and prevented what could have turned a riotous situation. Chief Obasanjo arrived Ekiti State for what he described a-thank-you-visit to the people of the state. The people who had opposed his visit had converged at the popular Okeyinmi Round About carrying posters with various inscriptions, some of which read thus: “Obasanjo is not wanted in Ekiti”, “leave Ekiti to be governed by the Ekitis”, “Obasanjo had not assisted us when we needed his help.”"
