On My Way To Zamfara I Saw Boko Haram,The Vigilantes In My Convoy Chased The Boko Haram Away—Adebayo

In an interview with Nigeria Info FM, Adewole Adebayo, the SDP presidential candidate, stated that he once defied a warning from soldiers and continued his campaign journey to Zamfara State despite security concerns over the presence of Boko Haram fighters

Adebayo said soldiers stopped his campaign convoy at a checkpoint and told him there was a curfew because of Boko Haram activities in the area. He said he told them that he had to reach Zamfara to deliver a campaign speech the next morning.

Adebayo said he and his campaign team continued the journey with local vigilantes accompanying them. He said they saw some Boko Haram fighters along the way and the vigilantes chased them away, allowing his convoy to reach Zamfara safely

In Adebayo’s words: “When I was going to Zamfara State to campaign, I got to a place and the army there said ‘You can’t pass, there is a curfew because all over the place there is Boko Haram’. I said I have to make a speech in the morning and they said ‘You can’t pass, go tomorrow’. So I told the soldiers I want to be president of Nigeria, there can’t be any part of Nigeria I can’t go because of Boko Haram. So we drove past them and we took vigilantes with us and they were pointing to all the Boko Haram there. The vigilantes were chasing them away and the Boko Haram people ran away and I got to Zamfara”
