President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC national chairman Adams Oshiomhole have been pelted with all kinds of objects at the APC presidential campaign in Ogun state.
Missiles began to fly towards the Presidential podium when the former Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola mounted the podium and was speaking in Yoruba language in favour of the APC governorship candidate.
The confusion, which saw many party supporters trouping out of the stadium as the atmosphere was charged, intensified when the APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole mounted the podium to speak and present the party flag to APC governorship candidate, Dapo Abilene.
The agitated crowd were shouting No No No to the APC governorship candidate Dapo Abilene. The DSS had to quickly mount the podium to build a human shield around the president.
The president later spoke to traditional rulers at a townhall meeting with Ogun State traditional ruler in Abeokuta, the state capital, where he called on the rulers to educate their subjects on how to conduct themselves peacefully.
Buhari spoke against the background of the near violence that nearly marred the Osun Presidential campaign rally held at the M.K.O Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta earlier.
The two factions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the candidate of the state Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, on the platform of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) had clashed at the rally ground.
Our reporter at the venue said that Governor Ibikunle, whose second tenure will expire after the forthcoming elections had openly asked Ogun people to vote for President Buhari of the APC and vote for APM candidate in the March 2nd Governorship election.
