The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari at the Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa Stadium on MondayThe presidential campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress in Bauchi State was brought to an abrupt end by power outage on Monday.

Also, the party’s standard bearer could not address the mammoth crowd at the rally, following the departure of the President.Buhari had arrived in Bauchi to lead the APC presidential and governorship campaign rally. From the airport, Buhari proceeded to the palace of the Emir of Bauchi, Dr Rilwanu Adamu, for a courtesy visit and thereafter headed to the campaign venue.

While that was going on, the technical team was running up and down trying to fix the outage but they could not. But commenting on the incident, a member of the State Working Committee who spoke in confidence, explained that the event was organised by the national secretariat of the party. However, a source disclosed that a power surge from the generator affected the connection to the sound system and resulted in the destruction of some cables.

A statement from the Tinubu Media Office signed by Abdulaziz Abdulaziz , said the APC standard bearer, who spent the night at the state capital, joined the party bigwigs to receive Buhari at the airport. He said APC governors were solidly behind the APC candidate in line with the directive of the President for all party members to ensure the victory of “his friend and partner, Asiwaju Tinubu.”

“And it is this spirit of finding a way in the middle of nowhere, of drawing water from dried wells that we seek to consolidate when we succeed in getting the mandate of Nigerians. The party asked the Bauchi State governor to prepare his handover notes, noting its candidate would win the election. “I can’t confirm what truly happened. The engineer will be able to tell what really happened even though from the onset, when I saw wire microphones, I had a little reservation.

“People couldn’t hear him but all the same, the chairman called on the public to vote for the APC and the presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu climbed to the podium.’’ Applauding the turnout, he stated, “Bauchi has not had that kind of gathering in recent times. It was a boisterous reception. It was ovation upon ovation, accolades upon accolades and the people were shouting ‘Bauchi is for Buhari and Buhari is for Bauchi’ and the President called on the people of Bauchi to replicate the reception and the votes they gave him to Tinubu and all other candidates of the party.
