The traffic situation in Lagos metropolis on Saturday was worsened as the Presidential Campaign of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere held its rally.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the rally is for the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The event, which brought together APC leaders, members, support groups in Lagos and contingents from neighbouring South-west states, triggered gridlock on Ikorodu Road, with Funso Williams Ave and Surulere axis badly affected.

NAN reports that Tinubu’s supporters with enthusiasm walked distance because of the congestion to access the venue, which was manned by heavy security presence.

Scores of campaign vehicles, mostly BRT, commercial buses and private cars, which conveyed party supporters to the venue of the rally, were parked on major roads.

The main bowl of the stadium had been filled to capacity and the premises of the venue as early as noon.

While the rally was yet to start as of the time of filing this report, so many supporters, who despite the scorching sun, were still struggling to gain entrance into the venue.

Thousands of the supporters dressed in various campaign clothes, T-shirts and caps of different colours were busy blowing trumpets, waving brooms, hoisting flags and other symbols of the party.
