The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has decried the alleged attack by some thugs on supporters of the party at the ongoing campaign rally in Kaduna State on Monday.
The former vice president stated this in a post on his verified social media handles on Monday.
“I have just received emergency reports of attacks on PDP 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,” he posted on Facebook.
Atiku urged the President Muhammadu Buhari to call rival political parties to order and ensure free campaigns.
“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,” he said.
