This Is Undemocratic- Atiku Reacts To Attack On Supporters At Campaign Rally In Kaduna

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday, described the armed attack on supporters of the party as “undemocratic”.

RovingNaija News had earlier reported that thugs invaded the Atiku rally venue in Kaduna with swords and machetes. Many were reportedly stabbed and sustained injuries.

Reacting, Atiku, a former Vice-President, demanded a level playing field from the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

He wrote on his verified Twitter handle: 

“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.”
