A strong windstorm on Saturday briefly disrupted a 10,000-man solidarity march in Oju Local Government Area of Benue State in support of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Hyacinth Alia.
The storm scattered canopies and chairs, causing momentary panic among participants at the venue.
Despite the disruption, organisers and supporters regrouped and proceeded with the event.
The rally, aimed at demonstrating grassroots support for the two leaders, continued shortly after calm was restored.
Organisers described the incident as a minor setback, insisting their commitment remained firm.
“We continued the programme after the situation stabilised. Our support is unwavering,” a coordinator said.
