The Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council as condemned the attack on its presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, in Katsina on Tuesday.
“Subsequently, another set of thugs also threw stones outside the stadium which damaged several vehicles, including that of our official stage crew.
“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.
“While thanking the good people of Katsina who came out enmasse to support our campaign yesterday, we call on security agencies to investigate this matter to forestall future occurrences.” Obi was in Katsina on Tuesday in continuation of his presidential campaign ahead of the general electionsAll rights reserved.
