The police and other security operatives on Saturday
chased out pro-Buhari supporters at the Kaduna rally
for the Peoples Democratic Party presidential
candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan.
The main bowl of the 30,000-capacity Ahmadu Bello
Stadium, the venue of the rally, was half-filled. It was
the last in the series of North-West rallies scheduled
for President Jonathan’s re-election bid.
When the state Governor, Mukhtar Yero, mounted
the podium to read his welcome address, as soon as
he shouted ‘PDP,’ a large section of the crowd
chorused ‘Sai (only) Buhari.’
Also, when the Vice President, Namadi Sambo,
shouted ‘Sai Nigeria,’ the crowd responded, ‘Sai
Buhari.’
All the personalities that spoke at the rally were
greeted with the ‘Sai Buhari’ slogan.
In reaction to the development, security operatives,
including combat-ready policemen descended on the
crowd in an attempt to chase them out.
As the police kept chasing the pro-Buhari supporters
out of the stadium, they kept chanting, ‘Sai Buhari’
intermittently.
They also tore several posters of President Jonathan
and his deputy in the stadium.
Not done, the youth outside the stadium reportedly
threw pebbles on the convoy of the president after
the president had left the stadium at about 3:00pm.
A visibly angry Deputy Governor of the state, Nuhu
Bajoga, was spotted by our correspondent at the
rally, reprimanding members of the local organising
committee at the main bowl of the stadium and
asking the committee to “go and bring more people.”
It was gathered that the money for the supporters
were allegedly diverted by some officials of the local
organising committee.
Reacting to the development, APC’s National Publicity
Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed said, “It shows the
popularity of Gen. Buhari. It shows that he is
unstoppable.
“Chasing his supporters out of the stadium does not
help the President or the PDP. It worsens their case.”
The Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party Board
of Trustees, Senator Walid Jibril, however dismissed
insinuations of the non-acceptability of President
Jonathan in northern states.
Jibril said it was the “quality of the crowd that
matters and not hiring of miscreants.”
In his speech, President Jonathan said Kaduna was
one of the major beneficiaries of Federal
Government policies.
He urged the people of the state to re-elect him in
the Febuary 14 election.
He said the state was the focus of the central
government in the next four years if elected.
He also promised to revamp the collasped textile
mills in the state to create jobs for the teeming
youths in the state.
Vice President Sambo had earlier in his speech said
the people of the state were highly elated with the
President for his choice as running mate in the
February polls.
He described Jonathan as patriotic and detribalised
and therefore urged the people of the state to vote
the party in all the elections.
The Kaduna State Governor, Mukhtar Yero in his
welcome address said the state was the stronghold of
the party since 1999 and would remain as such.
He thanked the President for transforming the state,
especially, the establishment of fast rail service from
Abuja to the state to ease transportation problems
and the establishment of 30KWT power plant in the
state.

We said it here that the rally wasn't massive as ceo4eva puts it or would want us to believe.
Kaduna is the nothern version of lagos to apc. Even if you have a goat contesting an election with buhari picture on it's poster, the goat will win in kaduna.
