“When I was coming to town, I saw a lot of hoodlums, PDP hoodlums so when I got to town, I went straight to the Area Commander of Ilesha, I told him what I observed.
“He said he was going to look into it so I went back to our party Secretariat in Ilesha and I addressed all the party faithful that with the situation of things, everybody should go home, we come back tomorrow.
“So I decided to return to Oshogbo and right in front of the Secretariat, my vehicle was riddles with bullets. One of my security adviser was shot and my driver’s was also shot. I narrowly escaped”.
