The All Progressives Congress has
denied a report by the immediate
past Minister of State for Defence,
Musiliu Obanikoro, that the APC
presidential candidate, Maj. Gen
Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), was pelted with stones in Lagos on
Friday.

Obanikoro had issued a statement
condemning the purported stoning
of Buhari on the Lagos Island, where
the APC presidential candidate and
other party leaders went to pay
homage to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu.

However, the APC, in a statement by
its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, said Obanikoro was
only trying to impress President
Goodluck Jonathan because he had
been nominated as a minister.

The party said Buhari and the party
leaders were not stoned but rather
received cheers from bystanders,
who are eager for a change in the
leadership of the country.

The statement read, “Gen. Buhari and
other top leaders of the APC rode in
an open bus from the Palace of the
Oba of Lagos to the Teslim Balogun
Stadium venue of the rally, to great
cheers from Lagosians, who lined the route.

”Not once was he pelted with a stone
during the almost two-hour ride. It is
obvious that those who were paid by
Obanikoro to stone the General failed
to deliver. We therefore urge him to
seek a refund of whatever money he paid to his hired hands to pelt Gen.
Buhari with stones.

“Obanikoro’s statement on an
imaginary attack on Gen. Buhari in
Lagos must be his own way of saying
‘thank you’ to his masters for
nominating him as minister on Friday,
as his reward for ceding the governorship ticket he claimed to
have won to Jimi Agbaje.” The party thanked the people of
Lagos for turning out in
“unprecedented numbers” to
welcome Buhari to Lagos, saying the
Centre of Excellence(Lagos) had
never witnessed such a huge and cheery crowd.

there is no point exchanging words with koro.

he can continue to say whatever he likes.

who cares

Cos GEJ is getting stoned left and right, they now decide to fabricate lies to make it look as if everyone else gets stoned too.
