Confirming the attack, the state Commissioner for Arts and Culture, Mcdonald Obasuke, told LeadershipNG that he witnessed the unfortunate incident;
“While we were still expecting delegates, Obaseki was already inside with the party leaders when this boy who pretended he was with us went inside the car and brought out a gun and fired at our direction. We were lucky to dodge the bullet so we immediately mobilised our boys and pursued them because it seems they came to disrupt the event. We caught them and handed them over to the police. It was really shocking but we thank God nobody was hurt. However Obaseki could not address the delegates because of the shooting. I called off the meeting with the delegates because I had to be whisked off by my security men. No one was hurt though. I cannot be intimidated, whoever did this has failed because we will continue our campaign”.
