NewsPoliticsPDP Rally: 74 Persons Hospitalize, Several Vehicles Vandalize- Melaye

At least 74 persons were reported to have been hospitalized while several vehicles were vandalized in Maiduguri, Borno State on Wednesday when hoodlums attacked the convoy of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Sen. Dino Melaye, PDP Presidential Campaign spokesperson disclosed this during the party’s rally in Maiduguri and accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to stop their campaign in the State by deploying thugs to attack them.

“But we want to assure them that nobody can stop us.

“The ruling party in the State deployed thugs to attack the PDP convoy with stones, sticks, and machetes as the convoy left the Shehu of Borno’s Palace to the Ramat Square, the venue of PDP presidential rally, all in an attempt to frustrate the program,” he said.
