Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Taiwo Adisa, told Newsmen that the convoy of the governor ran into a barricade made by the protesters at the Oshuntokun Junction and the governor had to step down from his vehicle to address them.
Adisa explained that the governor would not run over them, adding that Makinde calmed them down and appealed to them not to be violent.
A video clip that went viral on social media showed Makinde where he used a megaphone to address the protesters. But the video clip did not really capture his speech that could have been transcribed.
