SUSPECTED THUGS STONE BUHARI, ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS CHIEFTAINS AT OGUN PRESIDENTIAL RALLY

However, the ugly development occurred at Moshood Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta shortly after the Governor; Ibikunle Amosun handed over microphone to the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomole to address the crowd.

Penpushing further reports that, Governor Amosun while addressing the gathering maintained his decision to work for the return of Buhari, and not to work for his party, All Progressives Congress(APC) Governorship Candidate, Prince Dapo Abiodun, and incited his supporters to comply with his directive.

Hear him, ‘Come coming Saturday, let us go out to vote for President Buhari, and on March 2, let us look elsewhere, I hope you understand me and got my message, and let it be known to you all, after the March 2 poll, we shall all become APC again’

Penpushing recalled that, the out-going Governor had been at loggerhead with the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), following his inability to secure the party ticket for his choice Candidate, Adekunle Akinlade, who is now the flagbearer of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

At the rally, Amosun as the Chief Security Officer of the State was said to have ordered that, the gate should be thrown open for all party members to attend the ceremony, and the 35,000 capacity stadium was filled to brim.

Penpushing reports that, the attack on the dignitaries at the podium started as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Adams Oshihomole commenced his speech, when the thugs started hurling stones on the party leaders, to disrupt the programme.

The event was temporarily brought to a halt, while the Host Governor, Ibikunle Amosun started begging the unruly party members to desist from the bad behavior, stressing, ’please in the name of God, it is enough, don’t disgrace me, God will not destroy your work, please don’t destroy my work’

The Vice President, Yomi Osinbajo, after a brief peace which returned,  spoke about the agenda of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), for the second term, and called on party supporters and electorates to return the party, at all levels.

Earlier before the attack on party chieftains, former Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola cautioned those he described as hypocrites to have a rethink over their conduct, ‘by staying indoor and fighting the home from outside’.

The ugly development forced  former Governors; Bola Tinubu, Olusegun Osoba and Bisi Akande, as well as  Biyi Durojaiye, Rotimi Ameachi, Governors Rotimi Akeredolu, Kayode Fayemi and Akinwunmi Ambode among others  leaving the stage in a hurry.

Penpushing also reports that, the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, (APC), Adams Oshiomole took time to handover the party flag to Prince Dapo Abiodun, who is the party’s Governorship flagbearer, while  President Buhari also raised the hand of Abiodun as the bonafide candidate of the party, while the Master of the Ceremony hurriedly announced rendition of the National Anthem to abruptly end the programme
