The PUNCH reported that trouble started at the Osogbo Eid ground when an aide of the governor approached Basiru and told him to vacate the front seat said to have been reserved for the governor, who was on his way.
Basiru was reacting to a claim by Rasheed that three busloads of hoodlums were seen at the Osogbo Eid ground before the arrival of the governor.
He said, “The CPS said some hoodlums were seen in about three buses at Eid ground and up till today nothing has happened in terms of arresting and bringing them to books. “Then to also say the governor arrived at a place to meet such a situation, means that the security around the governor is also porous because there is supposed to be an advance team that would have gone ahead to do security reconnaissance.But while responding, Rasheed explained that, “There was an advance team, which had secured a space for the governor; Basiru hijacked the space and refused to vacate the space when approached by protocol officers first and later by Osogbo leaders.
