President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday made a thunderous entry into the stadium with a surging crowd trailing his motorcade.

Security operatives had a hectic time preventing the crowd from entering the already filled 35,000 capacity Muhammadu Diko Stadium in Katsina where the grand rally to mark the end of the campaigns held.

Aside taking over all the seating terraces and the main bowl of the stadium, many other climbed all the available polls erected for facilities inside the stadium.

It was all praises for Buhari as the crowd intermittently chanted“Sai Buhari’’, “Sai Baba’’.

Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), took to the dancing floor to herald his turn to speak on their mission to Katsina.
