APC Kogi Gov Aspirant Scales Palace Fence In Order to Escape Death

James Faleke, vying to be a governor in Kogi state under the APC had to scale the palace fence of the Ohimege of Koto and ride on an okada in order to escape from the campaign rally where another governorship aspirant Prince Abubakar Audu was stoned. The APC campaign train had made a stopover at Koton Karfe in continuation of its rally. The rally later turned rowdy, with several stones and pure water thrown at the APC candidate and his running mate with shouts of Ole, barawo, return our stolen N11 billion. Reports say trouble started for the APC candidate after people were kept waiting till 5pm in the evening. On his arrival however, the governorship candidate failed to pay the royal father the usual traditional homage, right at the campaign venue, which was at the front of the palace. The APC candidate who had to take to his heels, had his white flowing big gown (baba riga) torn and had to be smuggled into his car.
