Buhari had on Thursday referred to the All Progressives Congress, APC, flagbearer in Delta, Great Ogboru, as “presidential candidate”.

While handing over the flag to Ogboru, Buhari had said: “I have this pleasure of handing over this flag of honour to our Presidential candidate.”

Reacting to the development at the rally, Omisore said President Buhari was tired.

Sharing a video of the rally on his Twitter handle, Omisore wrote: “President @MBuhari IS TIRED. He has handed over the @APCNigeria Presidential flag to someone else to be the candidate. Lol.”

While the clash between delegates from Imo was resolved by security operatives after a while, that between the Delta delegates was more intense with chairs being hurled and several people sustaining injuries.

According to reports, trouble began when a group loyal to Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha arrived at the stand reserved for Imo delegates and ordered others loyal to his deputy, Eze Madumere, to vacate the seats.

As gathered, the order was resisted leading to fracas with the private security of the governor allegedly getting involved with some people forcefully removed.

As security officials were trying to bring the situation under control the delegates from Delta State got engaged in an even more violent fist fight.

The clash was allegedly between supporters of O’Tega Emerhor and a former governorship candidate in the state, Great Ogboru.

It was learnt that delegates from the group, the faction loyal to O’Tega Emerhor had stepped out to eat but was stunned when they returned and found out that they had been unseated by another faction.

Their attempt to take their seats back resulted in violence.

The drama occurred despite the heavy security presence at the venue of the convention which has President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and the big wigs in the party.
