Restive youths in Bauchi state this morning
attacked PDP campaign delegates, including the
Minister of the FCT Senator Bala Mohammed,
with stones, slippers, hammers, sachet water and
other objects at the party's presidential
campaign rally which held at the Ibrahim
Babangida square in Bauchi the state capital.
According to reports, the youths arrived the
venue of the rally singing their support for GEJ
but immediately he and his entourage arrived,
they started stoning and attacking members of
the party.
They destroyed canopies and began chanting
songs in support of Gen Buhari. The Police
detached to the stadium found it hard to
disperse them as they were large in number. FCT
Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed, was stoned
with sachet water while making his speech at
the event.
The Minister in the course of his speech pleaded
with President Jonathan and other party
members not to take the embarrassment
seriously as it was part of politics, stating that
attack by the youths was the works of the
opposition. Others at the podium had to dodge
so as not to get hit with the different items
thrown. When the Minister shouted “Nigeria”, the
crowd shouted back “sai Buhari”, “sai Baba
Buhari”, others chanted “Bama yi,” “Bama yi”,
meaning we don’t support PDP.
