The presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his entourage virtually shut down Ilorin, as the mammoth crowd that thronged the Metropolitan Square venue of the rally spilled across the roads and all over the ancient city. Itook well over two hours for the Tinubu’s train to arrive at the square from the Ilorin Airport.
And gaining entrance into the square was also a difficult task as the mammoth crowd surge to catch a glimpse of Tinubu, his host, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and other eminent members of the presidential campaign team. Though civil in their approach, the security operatives deployed to the venue of the rally had hectic time controlling the crowd in order to pave way for the passage of the campaign train into the arena.
When he mounted the rostrum to address the gathering,the elated Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu charged the people of state to vote for him and all APC candidates in the coming general elections in order to cement the freedom from exploitation they achieved four years ago.
