Drama as Governor angrily leaves Eid ground over poor seating arrangement
A mild drama ensued at the Osun State capital, Osogbo central Eid ground on Wednesday as the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, left the place in anger over poor seating arrangement and did not observe the two raka’at rite.
It was gathered that before the governor arrived the Eid ground at Oke-Baale area of Osogbo, former Senate spokesperson, Senator Ajibola Basiru, along with foremost religion leader in the state, Chief Tunde Badmus had arrived the place and taken their seats in the front row.
However, after being informed that he was occupying the governor’s space, the senator reportedly moved to another space on the row, but the people insisted he must leave the entire row for the governor and his entourage.
The Senator however insisted on seating on the row which created controversy and some hoodlums began to create scene and incidentally, the governor arrived the Eid ground at the time but could not leave his vehicle for his seat.
The governor eventually stayed back in his car because of the scenario and could not observe the two raka’at prayer.
It was gathered that attempt to arrest the senator was eventually foiled as he was said to have left the ground with Chief Badmus after the prayer rites.
