PDP Campaign: Finally, powerful chieftain reveals those who sponsored the attack on Atiku’s convoy

A member of the Atiku Abubakar’s campaign council and the Peoples Democratic Party’s head of New Media, Barrister Anthony Ehilebo has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is known for violence and that it’s not a surprise that hoodlums allegedly sponsored by the party attacked his principal’s convoy on Wednesday in Maiduguri, Borno State.

Recall that suspected hoodlums widely believed to have been sponsored by the APC attacked the convoy of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate.

According to Dino Melaye, a spokesman of the campaign council, about 74 persons were injured and are now admitted in hospitals across the state. But the police was quick to dismiss the report of injured persons, saying it had gone to all hospitals in the state capital but could not identify anyone admitted in any hospital as a result of the incident.

The police public relations officer in the state, ASP Kamilu Shatambaya, while admitting that stones were thrown at the PDP presidential candidate’s convoy, no one sustained injuries in the process, even as he claimed that the attack did not happen during the rally.

But Ehilebo, in an exclusive chat with Legit.ng said only one party, the APC, currently partakes in the act of violence. He said the Maiduguri attack was the second in a row. While recalling the Kaduna attack, Ehilebo said all the party is known for is violence.

He said: “There is only one party that foisters violence, at least, physical violence. 2 parties foist online violence but one of them that foists physical violence is the All Progressives Congress, APC.”
