The Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council has condemned the alleged attack on the campaign train of its candidate, Peter Obi, after a rally in Katsina on Monday.
“On his way to the airport, hoodlums attacked the car our candidate was riding in with heavy stones from his drivers side causing substantial damage to the vehicle.“Subsequently, another set of thugs also threw stones outside the stadium which damaged several vehicles including that of our official stage crew,” the campaign team narrated in a statement signed by its Head of Media, Diran Onifade, on Tuesday.
“The two incidents taken together make us suspect that the attacks may have been premeditated at the behest of desperate politicians who had been deluding themselves with the false claim that they had the North-West locked up but are now shocked by the show of force of the Obidient movement in the region,” Onifade added.
While thanking the people of Katsina who came out to support Obi’s campaign on Tuesday, the group called on security agencies to investigate the matter to forestall future occurrences.All rights reserved.
