The campaign train of Seyi Makinde, governorship candidate of the PDP in Oyo state, has been reportedly attacked by hoodlums.
February 1, 2023 6:12 PM
Alao said the governor had addressed a mammoth crowd at the Igangan town hall and was heading to Tapa when the incident occurred, adding that the governor’s convoy ran into a roadblock, where the hoodlums demanded money. “The unprovoked attacks were reprehensible, especially as the people of the state already know Makinde as a man of peace.“As it has become the custom of the governor to acknowledge the cheers and love of the people and in turn distribute souvenirs wherever he went to campaign, Governor Makinde stood in an open-roof SUV while other members of the entourage were in his tow.
“The urchins went directly after the SUV of Chief Tegbe, which showed a clearly premeditated motive, while others kept attacking other vehicles coming behind the governor.”
