Political Clash: Why was Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari attacked at his Ogun state rally?

It is no news that the governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun is leading a rebellion in Ogun State against the leadership of the APC for rejecting his nomination of Adekunle Akinlade as the APC governorship candidate. Mr Akinlade has moved over to pick the flag of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) for the election on March 2. Nevertheless, Mr Amosun restated his decision to work for the reelection of Mr Buhari but not for the party’s governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun.
