The All Progressive Congress (APC) mega rally in Kano on Saturday was almost marred by violence.
The rally, which was organised to welcome former governorship candidate of the Green Party of Nigeria (GPN), A. A. Zaura and other decampees into APC, took place at Sabongari area of Kano metropolis.
While Rt Hon Hamisu Chidari, Speaker of Kano state House of Assembly, was giving his goodwill message, when some of the party members in attendance started trading punches.
The incident almost disrupted the rally as people fled in different directions.
But normalcy was restored after a while and the rally went on.
Some of the decampees are said to be members of the Kwankwasiyya movement, a group led by former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje is among the dignitaries receiving the decampees into the APC fold.
