Thugs in bloody clash at Buhari’s campaign in Abeokuta

The campaign took a new twist when Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun came on stage to campaign for the APC and Allied Peoples Movement (APM) In response, former governor Aregbesola came on stage to oppose the governor, asking the people to vote for only the candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

After Aregbesola started speaking, supporters of the APM verbally opposed him and it degenerated into to a rowdy session when Adams Oshiomhole, the APC national chairman came on stage. 

Supporters took laws into their hands and started throwing things at the APC leaders. 

Osinbajo tried to pacify the crowd to initial success, but the crowd soon went so berserk that Oshiomhole, traditionally the longest speaker at APC rallies, spoke for less than a minute after being boed and shouted down for close to five minutes.

Kennystrendy crew, Reported that rival supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) clashed in Ogun state on Monday, February 11, ahead of President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the state. 

The clash occurred between supporters of Governor Ibikunle Amosun and those of the APC governorship candidate in Ogun state, Prince Dapo Abiodun. 

The clash reportedly occurred at the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta, venue of the presidential campaign rally. 

Trouble started when Rotimi Amaechi, Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, told the people not to make any error during the forthcoming election and support the APC for all contested positions in the state.


However, when Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Governor of Ogun State, took the stage, he appealed to the party supporters to support Buhari’s reelection bid, but leave the matter of the governorship election till later.

“When it’s March 2nd, we know what we’re going to do. The other one, on March 2nd, we will resolve it. This one is for President Muhammadu Buhari. Please I beg you in the name of God, please don’t be angry,” Amosun pleaded with the supporters.


However, as Adams Oshiomhole took to the stage to present the flag of the party to Dapo Abiodun, the APC governorship candidate, the crowd went wild and hurled various objects at the Oshiomhole and Abiodun.
Security operatives had to rush to shield the President from the objects.
The fracas was said to have started when loyalists of the Allied People’s Movement (APM) gubernatorial candidate, Adekunle Akinlade, were desperate to outshine one another. Amosun, who is opposed to the candidature of Abiodun, is backing Akinlade as his anointed governorship candidate.
