Season of Stones and Pure Water Sachets on GEJ Part 2

Sequel to the previous attacks on the campaign convoy of Mr. President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan by angry youth both in Katsina and Bauchi (see story here) some days back, the number one man of Nigeria has been attacked again yesterday by aggrieved youths in Jalingo, Taraba State where he went to seek the votes for his re-election bid.

Information reaching AAB confirmed that the windscreens and windows of some of the vehicles on the convoy were destroyed before security operatives used tear gas and horsewhips to disperse the youths.

It was learnt that the incident occurred when the President’s convoy was going to the palace of the Emir of Muri, Abass Tafida, from the airport.

SEASON OF STONES AND PURE WATER SACHETS ON GEJ

It feels as if President Goodluck Jonathan has suddenly become an attractive magnet for flying stones and soaring pure water sachets anywhere he goes. Only last week was he attacked by angry youth in Katsina while on his way to visit the late President Umaru Yar'Adua family.

But yesterday's attack on his campaign train in Bauchi was more intense than the earlier one as the angry youths chanting anti-PDP slogans and hailing "Sai Buhari!" blocked the road leading to the Emir of Bauchi's palace as GEJ was heading there to pay homage.
