A large crowd overwhelmed security at the venue of President Muhammadu Buhari’s election campaign in Jos on Saturday, forcing the president to leave the venue without giving a speech.
After arriving the Rwang
Pam stadium, it took the president almost 30 minutes to reach his seat
as security personnel pushed back crowd and struggled to make way.
Later,
the crowd, believed to be mostly supporters of the All Progressives
Congress, surged toward the podium while some climbed the top of
vehicles in the entourage of Mr Buhari.
As security personnel
battled unsuccessfully to push the crowd back, Mr Buhari left the venue
of the rally without delivering his speech.
He was led away through the rear exit.
Governor
Simon Lalong and the the director general of the Buhari/Osinabajo
Campaign Organisation, Rotimi Amechi, were not also able to deliver any
speech at the venue due to the crowd trouble.
The president was only able to wave to party supporters as he hurried out.
