There was a mid Pandemonium today when the supporters of a former chairman of the federal character commission, Prof. Shuaib Oba Abdulraheem and a former minister of prof. Abubakar Sulaiman were involved in a political clash which left several wounded.
The incidence occurred at Okekere area of Kwara state during the election of new Executives to manage the affair of the party at the Ajikobi ward of Ilorin West local government, following the desolution of the state Executives by the party’s NEC.
An eyewitness told THE INFORMANT247 correspodence present at the scene that crisis erupted when some thugs alledgly loyal to Prof. Sulaiman thronged the Election venue with weapons to disrupt the ongoing Electioneering process, a situation which provoked the supporters of Prof. Oba Abu who began with verbal attack before dangerous weapons were freely used to attack each others.
“We were having our Election peaceful when some thugs who were sponsored by prof. Sulaiman came in with different weapons to attack and disrupt the election process because his candidate was not favoured. They arrived and started attacking people with broken bottles and other dangerous weapon” said the eyewitness
It was gathered that the election which obviously is not going in favour of the former minister who wanted to hijack the structure of the party at their ward level was alledged to have sponsored some thugs to disrupt the election process. A situation which does not go down well with the Oba Abu camp who were obviously having a leading hand in the election.
All efforts to contact both parties prooves abortive as there numbers were not reachable till the time of filling this report.
