Reports just in say that President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday stormed Bauchi State for the presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) but was unable to address the crowd due to technical challenges.
The President was received by Adamu, Director General, Presidential Campaign Council and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, former chief of Defense Staff, Gen Abdulrahman Danbazzau, Senator Andy Ubah, Yobe state Governor, Maimalla Buni and his Kebbi and Borno state counterparts, Atiku Bagudu and Babagana Zulum.
Buhari who is also the National Leader of APC, however, could not address the supporters of the party that gathered at Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Memorial stadium as the sound system and microphones failed to come on.
The presidential candidate of the ruling party, Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu were also unable to address the crowd as all efforts to rectify the sound system failed.
The video:
President Buhari after waiting for about 10 minutes and the issue was not rectified, he and Adamu presented the flag to the gubernatorial candidate of the APC in Bauchi State, Saddique Baba Abubakar.
Looking embarrassed, the President went round the podium waving to the crowd who were said to have gathered to listen to him live before the end of his tenure in a few months.
Buhari thereafter led other dignitaries down the podium into the waiting cars and drove out of the stadium to the airport en route to Lagos.
