2023: PDP condemns attack on Buhari in Kano, tackles Tinubu

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condemned the attack on President Muhammadu Buhari in Kano State by miscreants.

PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, Monday, said the attack was allegedly sponsored by the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The opposition party described the attack on the President as outrightly treasonable and a sacrilegious assault on national sovereignty.

The statement read in part “our Party is alarmed that this attack is part of APC 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 invites Nigerians to note how Governor Abdullahi Ganduje attempted to abridge President Buhari’s movement and even tried to stop him from visiting Kano State.

“More disquieting is the fact that the APC Presidential Campaign sought to humiliate and harm President Buhari, while performing his official duties in Kano.

“It should be noted that the APC Presidential candidate has been displaying open aversion and making inciting statements against President Buhari since Mr. President’s declaration, in line with democratic best practice all over the world, that Nigerians should freely vote for any candidate and Party of their choice in the 2023 general elections
