Campaigns rallies are often
embellished with drama, or turn out dramatic itself, and no candidate or party
member is immune to such drama scenes.
President Muhamadu Buhari, on
Wednesday, during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign
rally in Lokoja, Kogi state, made a mistake about the time he assumed office.
The president had said he assumed
office on May 19, 2015, instead of May 29.
“I’m very impressed at this very
short notice…you turned out for so many hours standing in the sun to see us and
to listen to us,” Buhari had said.
“I assure you that I am very
aware of your appreciation of the efforts for what we were able to deliver
since came in 19th of May, 2015.
Less than a day later, the
president made another gaffe during the presidential rally in Warri, Delta
state.
Buhari was to hand over the
party’s flag to Great Ogboru, the state governorship candidate of the party.
However, Buhari said, “I am
handing over this flag of honour to our presidential candidate.”
A man on the stage to his left
corrected him, saying “gubernatorial”,
but Buhari responded with “to our senatorial candidate”.
Again, the man corrected him,
saying “gubernatorial” and this time, Buhari said “governortorial candidate”.
This happened less than 24 hours
after some of the president’s critics concluded that he had a woeful outing at
the town hall meeting anchored by Kadaira Ahmed, media personality.
