By Ibrahim Shuaibu in Katsina
Twelve persons, including four policemen,
wednesday collapsed in Katsina State at the
General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) presidential
campaign rally.
The rally, which held at the Polo Ground in the
metropolis, had been scheduled to commence at
10a.m. but most of the key All Progressives
Congress (APC) members didn’t arrive the venue
until 4.30p.m.
An eyewitness who told THISDAY what
happened, said some of the victims had been
standing for hours under the sun and the heat
and stress apparently took a toll on them.
He also said there were instances where people
collapsing but some of them were revived by
sympathisers who fanned and poured water on
them.
Most of the collapsed victims were standing
close to the podium where key members of the
APC were scheduled to speak to a large crowd
and they were taken to hospital for treatment
after they collapsed.
Speaking at the event, Buhari said his
administration, if elected, would focus more on
three sectors including tackling corruption,
revamping the health sector, and transforming
the security situation.
Buhari said these three areas had been his
emphasis since he commenced campaign, with a
call on his supports to ensure their votes count
on the day of the election.
In his address to the crowd, the APC national
leader and former Lagos State Governor, Bola
Tinubu, said the conduct of the military over the
Buhari’s qualification saga was a clear attempt
by president Jonathan to destroy the army.
Tinubu asked whether Nigerian army recruited
and prompted him to all ranks without a
certificate.
“Whether Buhari has qualification or not, it is
him we are going to vote for. Please, Jonathan
should not drag the army into this except if they
are Jonathan’s army.”
He noted that the issue at stake was not about
Buhari but the move to salvage the country from
the grip of those destroying it.
Tinubu alleged that the PDP had only
contributed in destroying the country pushing the
people into perpetual poverty and youth
unemployment
He described the administration of Jonathan as
clueless and incompetent in the governing the
country, calling on the people to replace
Jonathan with Buhari.

Satanists, it's another day o

Clueless but your party members show up 5 hours late to see their supposed populace, *scoffs*
