Atiku Abubakar's PDP supporters have been attacked at a campaign rally that is now taking place in Kaduna State by suspected political thugs.
This was confirmed by the former vice president on Monday in a post on his verified social media accounts.
This occurs just a few days after thugs attacked party supporters in Zamfara State, resulting in at least one fatality and numerous injuries.
In an effort to prevent a repeat of the episode, Atiku urged President Muhammadu Buhari to summon members of all political parties to order in the post.
He wrote, “I have just received emergency reports of attacks on PDP supporters by thugs sponsored to scuttle the ongoing PDP campaign rally in Kaduna State. This is undemocratic and against the Peace Accord all parties signed up for just a few weeks ago.
“I urge President Muhammadu Buhari to call on all parties to call their supporters and members to order and to ensure that campaigns, just as with the elections themselves, are kept free, fair and safe”.
Casualties recorded during the attack could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.
