Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State angrily walked out of the Osogbo central Eid ground on Wednesday over a poor seating arrangement which prevented the governor from observing the two raka’at rite. It was gathered that a former Senate spokesperson, Senator Ajibola Basiru escaped being mobbed by hoodlums attempting to forcefully move him from where he was sitting at the Eid ground.
Governor Ademola Adeleke The Senator along with the foremost religious leader in the state, Chief Tunde Badmus had arrived at the Eid ground at the Oke-Baale area of the state capital and took their seats in the front row. However, some politicians approached him and told him he was occupying the Governor’s space and the senator moved to another space on the row, but they insisted he must leave the row for another for the Governor and his entourage. The Senator, however, insisted on seating on the row which created controversy and some hoodlums began to create a scene, and coincidentally the Governor arrived at the Eid ground at the time but could not leave his vehicle for his seat. The Governor eventually stayed 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.
