Buhari was never stoned in Lagos- APC

Press release from APC regarding the alleged stoning of Buhari at
his Lagos rally today...
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied the concocted
story by former Minister of State for Defence Musiliu Obanikoro
that the party's presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari, was pelted with stone during the party's rally in Lagos,
saying a lie has never worn a bolder face.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Gen. Buhari and
other top leaders of the APC rode in a open bus from the Palace of
the Oba of Lagos to the Teslim Balogun Stadium venue of the rally,
to great cheers from Lagosians who lined the route.
''Not once was he pelted with stone during the almost two-hour ride.
It is obvious that those who were paid by Mr. Obanikoro to stone the
General failed to deliver. We therefore urge him to seek a refund of
whatever money he paid to his hired hands to pelt Gen. Buhari with
stones,'' it said.
APC said Obanikoro's statement on an imaginary attack on Gen.
Buhari in Lagos must be his own way of saying 'thank you' to his
masters for nominating him as Minister on Friday, as his reward for
ceding the gubernatorial ticket he claimed to have won to Jimi
Agbaje.
The party thanked the good people of Lagos for turning out in
unprecedented numbers to welcome Gen. Buhari to Lagos, saying
the Centre of Excellence has never witnessed such a huge and
cheery crowd.
