In a chat with Adehun and his other members of excos, it was revealed that the aide to the governor had earlier brought up a demand, of taking over the leadership of 10 out of the 29 branches of the drivers’ Union in Akure township, by removing their chairmen and replacing them with indigenes of Owo, the hometown of the governor, and get financial returns from them.
