Meanwhile, on the same day, supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were attacked by suspected political thugs during a campaign rally which was confirmed by the party’s presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
“I have just received emergency reports of attacks on @OfficialPDPNig 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,” Atiku tweeted.
