The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has condemned the reported attacks on PDP members in Zamfara State, leading to the death of one.
Atiku’s condemnation of the attacks was contained in a statement via his Twitter handle on Monday.
“I have received reports of coordinated attacks on members of our great party, the PDP, by thugs in Zamfara State, which reportedly led to the death of one of our members.
“I condemn these attacks in entirety because it is an attempt to scuttle the lawful right of Nigerians to assemble peacefully and a direct attempt to suppress the legitimate campaigns of the PDP in the state.
“I reassure the Zamfara State PDP of my support, and most importantly, my heart goes out to the PDP family in Zamfara and the friends and loved ones of victims of this attack.”
