As a result of the demonstrations shaking Oyo State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed its presidential rally.
This announcement was made by the party on Monday.
According to reports, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the APC, was scheduled to visit Ibadan on Tuesday as part of his presidential campaign.
However, the party has announced that it will not host the campaign event as scheduled.
Wasiu Olawale Sadare, the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Oyo State, confirmed the postponement.
In a brief statement made available to the media on Monday, Sadare said that the postponement was necessitated by the problem caused by the shortage of new naira banknotes and fuel.
“We regret to announce the indefinite postponement of our presidential rally earlier slated for tomorrow (Tuesday).
“The decision was taken, apparently, in consideration to the prevailing challenges facing the people and the need to allow President Muhammadu Buhari work around the situation and ensure that normalcy return particularly as it concerns fuel and currency notes crisis,” he said.
