President Buhari, Adams Oshiomhole, and APC Chieftains booed and stoned at APC campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State

President Muhammadu Buhari, Adams Oshiomhole and other party chieftains of the All Progressive Congress were booed and stoned at the party’s campaign rally which held yesterday in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

 Party members were seen shouting in protest and interrupting proceedings during the party’s presidential rally in Ogun state.

All efforts by the Governor of the state, Ibikunle Amosun who appealed to the obviously furious crowd for calm proved abortive.

When the Chairman of the party Adams Oshiomhole mounted the rostrum to speak, the crowd went rowdy and more furious. They shouted and hurled stones at him and other party chieftains.

 The president had to be shielded by his body guards as he was almost stoned by aggrieved party members when he lifted the hands of the Governorship aspirant for endorsement.  Consequently, the event was cut short due to the charged atmosphere as the president’s security details totally shielded him during recitation of the national anthem.
