Sitting arrangement at the Osogbo Central Eid praying ground, Oke Baale, Osogbo, on Wednesday, led to a clash between a supporter of Governor Ademola Adeleke and a chieftain of the opposition All Progressives Congress, Senator Ajibola Basiru.
The APC chieftain, who had been in a war of words with the Adeleke government in recent times, added that, “I did not see any protocol nor advance party of the governor; there was no security personnel where I sat, no indication that where I sat was for the governor.”
“I don’t have problem with the governor of Osun State and there were no indications that where I sat was reserved for the governor,” he said.that Basiru delibrately occupied the spot already prepared for the governor just to disrupt the Eid prayers. “If the governor had wanted to use force to dislodge the thugs, people would have be injured but because he would not want that, he left the premises. I was among those that approached Basiru, asking him to leave where governor was to seat,” Raji said.
