GEJ’s Convoy Stoned In Bauchi: 6 SSS Security Operatives Guarding President Jonathan Injured & Hospitalised
Days after the convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan was stoned in Katsina, when he visited the family of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, youths in Bauchi State yesterday pelted his convoy and campaign podium with sachet water and stones as he arrived for a presidential campaign rally.
At least six security aides attached to him were injured when supporters alleged to be loyal to the opposition party, attacked the president’s convoy.
The six operatives, of the Department of State Services (DSS), were hospitalized after sustaining injuries from the fracas that ensued after the rally.
The security operatives were in the last bus on the convoy when stones were hurled at them but got injured when one big stone smashed the windscreen.
The occupants according to presidential sources were being prepared to be flown to Abuja for further treatment as at press time.
It was gathered that as the president’s convoy passed through the Nasarawa area of Bauchi, on his way to the palace of Emir of Bauchi, Alhaji Rilwanu Adamu, people threw sachet water and stones at the convoy.
In addition to the frustration expressed by the people of Bauchi, we learnt that billboards and posters of President Jonathan were pulled down by the protesters.

Although am not in support of the attack, but what do you expect from the people that have being suffering from boko haram attacks to do to their leader(president) that can’t/ or refused to fight insurgency to stand still to do? The message is simple,”Oga Jona, we are not happy with you therefore, we don’t want you anymore”.

It’s even funny, when buhari’s convoy was attacked there where no suspicion that it was PDP, but Goodlucks convoy was just stoned and some one is saying its disrespectful, and what I see is disrespectful is that some saying a whole general who was once a president not having waec result. We need to keep it real Nigerian. All I pray for is peace, and may the best candidate win.

A divided Nigeria better of, we “southerners” would have made these empty brains learn some morals the hard way as Israelis are doing to the Palestinians. Thanks to 2015, prayers answered good bye to animal farm “north”

Can you imagine the APC presidential candidate, mobilizing bad boys to stone PDP Presidential candidate. This where Buhari fails. Is this how he will rule country,if he emerges as the president on Nigeria. When he went for for his own campaign round the Niger Delta regions, no one attacked him. This God we are serving is seeing everything. We need Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to rules ys again.
Vote: GOOODLUCK VS buhari(bad luck)
. WIN. fail

The northerners will always get what they want with violence. And they will always get it. they don’t mind dying to get it. I like their boldness and courage . it would have been good if they were educated with this boldness, I think Nigeria wuld have been a better place.
The truth is, the northerners own this country there is no doubt about that.
They have proven it.
