Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate in 2023, has reacted to reports that thugs attacked the party’s presidential campaign rally ongoing in Kaduna state.
In a tweet on his verified Twitter handle, Atiku described the attack as “undemocratic and against the Peace Accord all parties signed up for just a few weeks ago.”
He tweeted, “I have just received emergency reports of attacks on @OfficialPDPNig supporters by thugs sponsored to scuttle the ongoing PDP campaign rally in Kaduna State. This is undemocratic and against the Peace Accord all parties signed up for just a few weeks ago.
“I urge President Muhammadu Buhari to call on all parties to call their supporters and members to order and to ensure that campaigns, just as with the elections themselves, are kept free, fair, and safe. -AA”
