The convoy of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has been reportedly attacked in Borno state.
Recall that the party is holding its presidential campaign rally in Maiduguri, Borno State Capital, today, Wednesday, November 9, 2022.
The details of the incident are yet to be confirmed as of press time, but it was claimed that the attack was carried out by Boko haram terrorists, who have been terrorising the northeastern part the country for more than a decade.
Borno state is the country home of the All Progressives Congress (APC) vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima.
The incident comes barely a month after suspected hoodlums allegedly disrupted the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ranchers Bees Stadium, Kaduna state.
Atiku in the post, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to call supporters of all political parties to order in a bid to tackle reoccurrence of such incident.
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”.
