The funds, shared under the supervision of one Segun Showumi from Ogun State, was moved into Ondo State from Ibadan, Oyo State and Yenogoa, Bayelsa State.
“Well, our only appeal at PMG is the people of Ondo state should not allow our State head to the Golgotha. The #5,000 that would be given to you by these locusts cannot even cook a good pot of soup.
