The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,
Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the recent attack on Olajide Adediran, the
party’s Lagos State gubernatorial candidate and his deputy, Funke Akindele.
The former vice president made the condemnation in a
Facebook post.
Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, was on Sunday evening
attacked in the Badagry area of Lagos State by suspected hoodlums while
returning from a campaign.
He said the pattern of attacks on the PDP has become
unacceptable, adding that it is against the Independent National Electoral
Commission’s, INEC, guidelines.
He wrote: “The attack on the campaign train of Jandor, the
PDP governorship candidate in outward Badagry, by suspected thugs is condemned.
This pattern of attacking members of the main opposition party, including the
one in Zamfara and in Kaduna two weekends ago before live TV cameras, is
unacceptable.
“This work of anti-democratic elements has no place in our
democracy. It is against the INEC guidelines and the Peace Accord recently
signed by presidential candidates. Until those behind these attacks are
arrested and face the full wrath of the law, it will encourage other copycats
to follow suit.
“I sympathise with the JandorFunke Campaign Organisation and
those injured by the attack”.
