AKOL said he had already got the Police Permit to go for his last rally on Thursday but one Omotosho aka Oluomo loyal to Hon Wole Oke warned him that he should not come out but he took the warning with a pinch of salt.

After he had successfully ended his last rally he headed for home with his supporters numbering over 500.
