A shouting match had ensued between Tinubu and the woman when the former tried to ensure that some lawmakers from Oyo State gain entrance into the event’s venue, despite coming late.
The main entrance into the event was said to have been shut after the state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, arrived at the event.
With the governor’s arrival, the organizers informed other participants in a queue at the entrance to go home because registration was closed for the day.
They, however, refused while insisting that they must be allowed in.
