It was an amusing sight on Tuesday at the All Progressives Congress’ mega rally in Benin, the Edo state capital as Governor, Adams Oshiomhole displayed his ‘energetic’ dance steps with Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-rufai.
The rally which witnessed the presence of President Muhammadu Buhari, as well as other party leaders and dignitaries, was a show of support for the party’s candidate, Godwin Obaseki, in the upcoming governorship election in the state.
Oshiomhole’s wife, Iara, was also seen dancing on the podium.
It would be recalled that, the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, and the Department of State Services, DSS, on Wednesday, advised the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to postpone the Saturday governorship election in the state.
The Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO, Don Awunah, and an agent of the DSS, Garba Abdullahi, cited security concerns as the reason for the request. According to them, there are plans by insurgent/extremist elements to attack vulnerable communities with high population during the forthcoming Sallah celebrations between 12 and 13 September, 2016.
The FPRO said Edo state was among the states earmarked for these planned attacks by the extremists elements.
