Adeleke, Deputy Governor Kola Adewusi, Speaker of the House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, and the spokesperson of the Imole Campaign Council, Pelumi Olajengbesi, were among those on the podium when the incident occurred.

A video of the incident showed that the event anchor brought musical performances to a close and was about to announce the next item on the programme before the podium collapsed.

The event was the inauguration of the Imole canvassers for Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency.

Deputy Spokesperson to the Governor, Oladele Bamiji, said the incident was not as serious as being portrayed.

“The event thereafter went on smoothly with the governor and members of his cabinet. No injuries.

“Had there been any fatal accident, the event would not have continued. There were no casualties. The governor, after leaving the venue, went to another event in Odo-Otin Local Government,” Bamiji said.
