The
All Progressives Congress, APC’s Presidential Candidate, Mohammedu
Buhari campaign in Jos was on Saturday marred by uncontrollable group of
hoodlums who immediately hijacked the podium and overran the campaign
and as such couldn’t allow Mr. President to make his speech or receive
the decampees .
The exercise was disorganized even before the
arrival of President Mohammedu Buhari, when the MC and Director General
of the Industrial Training Funds, Sir Joseph Ari, climbed the podium and
warned the security agencies against pushing off supporters who were
mostly Youths brought to the campaign, after it became rowdy when some
of them climbed up the podium turning the place a free for all
gathering.
However, the situation became unbearable as former
Senator Victor Rampyal Lar equally lost his handset to those thugs and
his clothes were turned into pieces.
The
announcement raised a lot of confusion and heavy stampede leading to
the pulling down of the presidential podium and the President was
smuggled narrowly through the back side.
Many
Journalists became scared of the reactions and ran out of the stadium;
even those that were transmitting life coverage could no longer find it
easy to control their Cameras.
On arrival to the stadium, the
environment become more confused to the extent that the event was cut
short, as dignitaries were not even able to address the public.
The president was smuggled out of the stadium using exit routes behind the stadium.
Those
who reacted to the development said it was a shameful outing so far,
describing as a waste of resources and energy as the president saw a
half red dream but was not able to receive those decampees or hand over
flag to Governor Simon Lalong.
