The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has disclosed that he will report attacks on his campaigns especially in Kaduna and Maiduguri to the Abdusalam Abubakar-led National Peace Committee.
Addressing newsmen on Thursday, the Director, Strategic Communication of PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu said, “yesterday, we were attacked in Borno state. We’ve been attacked in Kaduna and it’s so unfortunate because there was a peace accord that was signed by most of the presidential candidates.
“So, we plan to report formally to the security authorities, we plan to report to the Peace Commission because democracy is not by force, it is a game of choice. So if I choose to support my candidate, there shouldn’t be any problem about that. So firing guns, throwing stones and all manner of weapons, for me, is a very unfortunate development.”
Appealing to the media to send the meeage across to authority concerned, Momodu said, “we hope that you’re able to help us send the message across to the authorities that PDP is worried. My heart goes out to one of our colleagues, Mary Chinda of Arise News who sustained injury, infact I’ve just seen an x ray of our arms, so I hope nothing serious happened to her because she fell in the process of that attack yesterday. I saw that the police PRO or someone denied that any of such thing did not happen.
“It’s obvious that the are other parties can see that Atiku Abubakar GCON is the leading candidate and he’s going to win the next election Otherwise, why are they jittery?
