The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday dismissed as concocted a story by former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, that the party’s presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, was pelted during the party’s rally in Lagos.
The APC said "a lie has never worn a bolder face".
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Gen. Buhari and other top leaders of the APC rode in an open bus from the Palace of the Oba of Lagos to Teslim Balogun Stadium venue of the rally, to great cheers from Lagosians who lined the route.
"Not once was he pelted with stone during the almost two-hour ride. It is obvious that those who were paid by Mr. 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", the party said.
The party thanked the good people of Lagos for turning out in unprecedented numbers to welcome Gen. Buhari to Lagos, saying the Centre of Excellence had never witnessed such a huge and cheery crowd, the NATION reports.
