There was no protest yesterday in Akure, Ondo State capital.
Reports from Ondo town also said there was no protest.
Markets and shops were, however, closed.
Traders at Oja-Oba were seen playing football along the busy Oba Adesida Road.
Hot zones usually occupied by protesters such as Road Block area on the Akure-Ilesha highway and Oba Adesida road were deserted.
Commercial drivers and commercial motorcyclists (Okada riders) carried out their business.
There was heavy security presence at strategic locations in Akure and its environs.
It was gathered that protest did not hold in Ondo State because stakeholders were approached not to allow protest to take place.
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa reportedly met students of Ondo State origin in tertiary institutions.
The students under the auspices of National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), National Association of University Students (NAUS), National Association of Ondo State Students (NAOSS), National Female Students Association and indigenous student associations in the state said they would not join the protest.
They promised Governor Aiyedatiwa that they would not be part of any planned protest in the state.
The governor also met with driver’s unions.
Traditional rulers were involved in convincing youth leaders in Akure and other communities not to encourage protest.
