Former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Adams Oshiomhole was booed by supporters of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi.

A video that went viral on Twitter revealed that the campaign train of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that was held at Ring Road in Benin, Edo state, was disrupted by ‘Obidients’.

Oshiomole who is currently aiming for the Edo North Senatorial seat at the forthcoming elections had alighted from APC’s branded vehicle to address supporters before LP’s followers chanted ‘Obi, Obi, Obi’ continuously.

The former Edo state governor’s effort to calm the crowd proved abortive as members of the Obidient group continued with the chants until Oshiomole and his team left the venue with the help of some security operatives.

APC lost the gubernatorial election to former party member Godwin Obaseki who joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo state after Oshiomole left office after two terms.
