He released a statement through his Special Adviser
(Media Strategy) Ohimai Amaize.
Immediate past Minister of State for Defence and
former PDP Lagos gubernatorial aspirant, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro on
Friday chided the All Progressives Congress (APC) over denials that its
presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari was stoned in Lagos while
making his way to the APC Lagos presidential rally.
Senator Obanikoro had condemned the
stoning of General Muhammadu Buhari in Lagos on Friday after the news
of his stoning broke via online news media platforms and went viral across the
social media.
The APC on Friday through its
spokesperson, Lai Mohammed denied the report stating that General Buhari was
not stoned but rather received cheers from bystanders.
However, Senator Obanikoro in a statement on
Friday issued by Ohimai Amaize, his Special Adviser on Media Strategy,
noted that the APC’s denial of Buhari’s stoning in Lagos was not only pointless
and futile but also does not give the APC any advantage.
“When things go wrong, we must acknowledge and
condemn it in order to forestall any future occurrences.
“Senator Obanikoro, based on eyewitness accounts is
aware of the stoning incident at Idumagbo area of Isale-Eko, Lagos State and
the fact that a woman was injured in the ensuing fracas after General Buhari's
security detail had to shoot into the air to dispel the irate mob”, the
statement noted.
