The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has threatened to report attacks on its campaign teams in Kaduna and Borno States to the National Peace Committee headed by the former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar.
The Director of Strategic Communication of the PCC, Dele Momodu, disclosed this to journalists on Thursday in Abuja.
A former federal lawmaker, Dino Melaye, claimed on Wednesday that the motorcade of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was attacked by suspected hoodlums in Maiduguri, Borno State.
He added that 74 persons were injured in the incident.
The Borno State police command, however, dismissed the claim.
Atiku’s supporters were also attacked during his campaign rally in Kaduna a few weeks ago.
The PDP campaign council had accused the supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of carrying out the attacks.
Momodu expressed disappointment over the incidents as the presidential candidates in the 2023 election had signed a peace accord to ensure a peaceful process next year.
