A town hall meeting by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State has ended in chaos after supporters of the party allegedly staged a walk-out on Shettima.
reports say that the incident left vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima dumbfounded and embarrassed.
The cause of the walk-out is still not certain but an embarrassed Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma was seen pleading with the participants to stay back and sit down.
He urged the security men at the gates to effectively man the exits and lock the the doors but the supporters were not deterred.
The video:
The video has generated mixed reactions from some Nigerian. While some applauded the stakeholder’s action others worried about the embarrassment it caused the vice presidential candidate.
@Nkemchor_: “I laughed when Hope Uzodinma bragged that igbos will vote APC. We are republican in nature. One man cannot sit and decide who anyone votes. This walk out in imo state will increase Shettima’s hate for the igbos but do we care ?
“He deserves the treatment, he has said so many horrible & unflattering things about the igbo’s. His leaked phone conversation with Senator Amosun was the height of his hatred for the SE. Why didn’t they work out when his principal & other invited dignitaries were talking.”
@charlypac007: “The matter cast for their eyes… We all need to secure inec @ all cost… That’s the only leverage they have ryt about now…”
miz_kayz_hair: “Did I hear close the gate? Na by force to stay back”
francessfine: “I can’t be the only one that finds the man really scary. His facial expressions and everything God help us”
novothewxveboy: “This is how they deserve to be treated. If the one who wants to be president doesn’t have the decency to come out to talk to Nigerians anything his “representatives” see they should take it abi is it representative that wants to rule the country ?”
bbn_highlight: “It is not fair! They didn’t have to treat him the way they did”
meeldread: “This man scared me make dem no near asp rock cos e go be shege pro max. Make God just help us wey never japa”
ms_bake_shop: “Close the gate on adults na by force”
gineertasty: “Nigeria, imagine watching a man that was complicit in bombing your family member come out to run for presidency. And u r supposed to sit and listen to him talk? The trauma alone. This man no suppose show face for anywhere in the world, even in a birthday gathering let alone a TV”
