Political analysis reports

Atiku’s arrival attracted a large crowd of supporters and residents, many of whom gathered at the airport and along the route to catch a glimpse of the opposition candidate.

The large turnout is expected to delay his arrival at the campaign venue, as supporters lined up to welcome him.

Earlier, some youths identified as supporters of the APC reportedly attempted to block roads leading to the venue.

However, they were reportedly overwhelmed by the large crowd, allowing movement towards the venue to continue.
