The erring chairman would be suspended for being involved in such a public, embarrassing act. “I have directed the party chairman in the local government to bring everybody to Akure today (Monday) and we will deliberate and appropriate sanction will be meted out where necessary. But, the ward chairman would be suspended.”

In the same vein, Deputy Majority Leader of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Princess Oluwatosin Ajirotutu, has called on the state police command to commence an arrest and prosecute the APC chieftain.

“The action of Mr. Awolumate Olumide on Hon. Adebunmi Osadahun is condemned and he should be arrested and made to face maximum disciplinary sanction by the Ondo State Commissioner of Police while the Attorney General of Ondo State should prosecute Mr. Olumide immediately.

“Assault on womenfolk should not be tolerated in any part of Ondo State and the country. Women deserve our caring in every situation because of their sensitive roles in society.”
