The Obi-Datti presidential Campaign Council PCC, has narrated how its candidate, Peter Obi was attacked after a rally in Katsina State.
Wakadaily report that Obi took his campaign to Katsina on Monday where he promised to tackle hunger, insecurity and unemployment if elected.
In a statement by Diran Onifade, its head of media, the campaign council said Obi’s car was attacked by hoodlums when he was on his way to the airport after a rally.
The statement read: “Our candidate had met with women in a townhall and then held a hugely successful rally at the Muhammad Dikko Stadium.
“However, on his way to the airport, hoodlums attacked the car our candidate was riding in with heavy stones from his driver’s side, causing substantial damage to the vehicle.
To the glory of God, Obi and other occupants of the car were unhurt.
“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 in masse to support our campaign yesterday, we call on security agencies to investigate this matter to forestall future occurrences,” the LP Campaign Council added.
