PDP Condemns Attack On President Buhari's Convoy in Kano

 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to an attack on President Muhammadu Buhari's convoy in Kano state.

 

This comes after Buhari visited the state on Monday.

 

The main opposition party while condemning the act described it as an organized attack on the person of the President which it said is “outrightly treasonable and a sacrilegious assault on our national sovereignty which must be condemned by all.“

 

National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, said this in a statement, in Abuja, on Monday.

 

He said, “Our Party is alarmed that this attack is part of APC’s Presidential Candidate’s alleged plot to undermine the Presidency, cause confusion, trigger violence in the country, disrupt the conduct of the 2023 general elections and derail our democracy; having realized that he cannot win in a peaceful, free and fair electoral process.

 

The PDP reminded Nigerians about Tinubu’s infamous statement in London where he declared to his supporters that “political power is not going to be served in a restaurant, it is not served a la carte. It is what we are doing; It is being determined; you do it at all cost; fight for it, grab it, snatch it and run with it”.

 

It further noted the only recently, Asiwaju Tinubu further incited his followers against President Buhari at APC’s Presidential Rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where he accused Mr. President of attempting to subvert the electoral process.

 

Ologunagba said, “It is now clearer why the APC Presidential Candidate brazenly established a militia code-named “the Jagaban Army” which is designed to undermine our national security, unleash violence on institutions of democracy and disrupt the electoral process.
