The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will not attend today’s pre-election debate with his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rival, Abdul-Azeez Adediran aka, and other candidates in the state.
The state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, confirmed the development in a statement on Saturday.
This followed violence that ensued between the supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the PDP in the Aguda area of Surulere, Lagos, on Friday.
In separate videos seen by Ripples Nigeria on Friday night, thugs in a Hilux bus with posters of Jandor were holding machetes and shooting sporadically.
In another video, APC supporters attacked Jandor’s convoy and blocked major roads in the area.
It took the intervention of policemen in the convoy who threatened to shoot before the PDP candidate’s team escaped from the area.
