The People’s Democratic party, PDP has vowed to drag the All Progressives Congress, APC to the National Peace Commission over attacks on its campaign activities in Borno and Kaduna states recently.
The Head Strategic Communication of the Atiku/Okowa campaign, Dele Momodu discloses this on Thursday in Abuja while fielding questions from newsmen.
According to him, “Yesterday, we were attacked in Borno state. We’ve been attacked in Kaduna and it’s so unfortunate because there was a peace accord that was signed by most of the presidential candidates.
“So we plan to report formally to the security authorities, we plan to report to the Peace Commission because democracy is not by force, it is a game of choice. So if I choose to support my candidate, there shouldn’t be any problem about that. So firing den guns, throwing stones and all manner of weapons, for me, is a very unfortunate development.
“So we hope that you’re able to help us send the message across to the authorities that PDP is worried. My heart goes out to one of our colleagues, Mary Chinda of Arise News who sustained injury, infact I’ve just seen an x ray of her arms, so I hope nothing serious happened to her because she fell in the process of that attack yesterday. I saw that the police, PRO or someone denied that any of such thing did not happen.”
Momodu also said the crisis threatening the party will soon be over as the G-5 governors will very soon return to its fold.
He said, “I’m sure most of you must have heard that our governors, the integrity group, said yesterday that the window of reconciliation has not been shut permanently. We’ve been at it for some time trying to see how we can bring everybody under the same umbrella. So hopefully, in the next couple of days and weeks, all of us will be able to work as one family. PDP is the biggest political family in Africa and we want it to remain so.”
