Adeleye lamented that no letter was issued for the postponement but a WhatsApp message that not all members-elect knew.
The member-elect who spoke on behalf of the other eight PDP members-elect who were also on the ground added that there were better ways to start the present legislature than the sudden postponement.

”The notice of this inauguration was sent via a proclamation letter written by the governor that the 10th assembly would start by June 13.
