President
Goodluck Jonathan's visit to the
Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ife, has been cut short after students of the institution staged a peaceful protest today.
According to reports reaching
Student Pulse, the students barricaded the road, preventing his convoy from progressing.
The students are reportedly angered because all activities were stopped or the number one citizens visit.
Several tweets posted on social media suggest that the President had to be whisked away with a helicopter.
The placard carrying students allegedly also threw stones as the presidential helicopter left the institution.
Governor
Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state, who defeated an All Progressives Congress
(APC) incumbent, was also booed with chants of "Ole" (thief).
The convoy of the Ooni of Ife was also initially blocked.
Some people have suggested that unfortunate turn of events has a political undertone because Osun State is an APC stronghold.
