Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosun on Monday begged an unruly crowd of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters in the state not to disgrace him before President Muhammadu Buhari.
This was to no avail as they booed and pelted the Party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole with stones.

The crowd had disrupted the presidential rally of the APC, forcing security operatives to form a ring around President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that trouble started after Oshiomhole introduced Dapo Abiodun, gubernatorial candidate of the APC in the state.
Shouts of “Ole! Ole! Ole!†rented the air as the angry mob pelted Oshiomhole with stones.

The APC national chairman ended his speech abruptly and handed over the microphone to Abike Dabiri, a presidential aide, who anchored the programme.
Dabiri had introduced Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as the next speaker but before then Amosun took to the podium to appeal to the aggrieved persons in the crowd.
“I beg you in the name of God… this is what they want to happen… Please don’t disgrace me here,†he said in Yoruba.

Amosun had lost out in his bid to secure the APC gubernatorial ticket for Adekunle Akinlade, a serving member of the house of representatives.
