PDP gov aspirant wears bulletproof vest to primary

A Lagos State governorship aspirant, Mr. Babatunde
Gbadamosi, popularly known as BOG, caused a stir at
the Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party governorship
primary when he arrived the venue in a bulletproof vest.
Gbadamosi, while addressing journalists at the venue, said
he wore the vest in order to protect himself from being hit
by a stray bullet following the violence that erupted earlier
in the day.
Although the party leadership had said the violence was
caused by thugs loyal to the opposition party, Gbadamosi
said the real perpetrators of the violence were from
within the PDP.
Gbadamosi said the violence was part of a plot to
intimidate the almost 1,000 delegates that have converged
on the venue.
He said, “I am wearing the bulletproof vest because I am
afraid of being shot at but I am urging all my supporters
to come and not be intimidated.
“There is fear of intimidation and some people in the party
want to intimidate the delegates but we will ensure that
everyone will vote fearlessly and as it pleases them.”
He said it was unfortunate that the party leadership was
supporting an aspirant.
He, however said the leaders would have their say while
the delegates would have their way.
When asked if he was confident of winning, he said,
“Would I have paid over N11m to purchase the form if I
was not confident?”
