A dress rehearsal of what is likely to happen in the general elections in Ogun State, played out Monday as the Presidential rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was hurriedly brought to a close by the party. It was an embarrassing moment for the governor Ibikunle Amosun, who struggled to calm the APM flag carriers. It took the intervention of the security operatives on the podium to block the items, as the rally was hurriedly ended. At the weekend, the campaign train of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Prince Dapo Abiodun, came under a fresh attack allegedly by political thugs suspected to be working for a rival governorship candidate. It was learnt that the campaign train was on its way to Ofada town shortly after a rally in Owode, Obafemi-Owode Local Government, when thugs shot sporadically into the air and hurled stones at Abiodun’s convoy.
