“The youths were shouting that a lot of abandoned projects littered the area without the senator coming to their rescue. There is a massive erosion problem plaguing the community, Senator Manager is aware of it because him and Julius Pondi where here when the river back craved in but what did he do about it since then? Nothing. There is another NDDC shoreline protection project abandoned in the area and we have a son in the Senate who want us to return him?.

“We have asked him to return to Ogiriagbene, his home town because his going back to the red chamber would be frustrated at every point we see him because of the way he has frustrated and deprived us over the years.

“So the youths are very anger with him. Himself and the whole entourage made of the like of J.T. Government, Arede that came with him were asked to leave while they were jeering and booing him.
