The Director-General (DG) of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Akin Osuntokun has said Peter Obi was attacked earlier this week by some “political roller dealers” who were not happy with the ‘success’ of the rally the party had in Kano on Sunday.
POLITICS NIGERIA recalls that the Labour Party’s campaign train was in Katsina State on Monday where Obi first held a town hall meeting with women and followed it up with a rally at Muhammad Dikko stadium. However, on his way to the airport, hoodlums attacked the convoy of the Labour Party presidential candidate, causing substantial damage to some of the vehicles.
Katsina is the home state of the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
“It was a rowdy scene. My sense of it was that it was an organised reaction by some political roller dealers who didn’t like the success of the rally we had in Kano the previous day, which was unexpected. Katsina has the reputation of being one of the most violent states in Nigeria,” Osuntokun told Punch.
“Indeed, their governor requested that citizens be armed to defend themselves. So there was a predominant security crisis long before the rally we went to.
“So from that perspective, we cannot say that it is not expected. And I’m sure they attacked the convoy of President Muhammadu Buhari at one time and injured two security personnel or so.”
We started with god
I wish to state unequivocally here that Katsina state is driven AUTOMATED thugs put in place before now to achieving their selfish political dividenfs. Unfortunately, it bumerangs now , the government of the day can’t curtail it when she needs the peace now. All I’m saying is that,it was an ITEM OF WEAPONRY put in place to achieve their selfish objectives, but now,they are finding it very difficult to TAME, calling them : BANDITS. They are likened to a SET of dogs with RABEATS, a disease,which makes a dog to bite irrationally, including the owners. That’s the situation in Katsina.
