Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has condemned the
violent attack on supporters of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP and other
Nigerians during the party’s presidential campaign in Kaduna State on Monday.
Supporters of the PDP presidential flagbearer, Atiku
Abubakar were attacked by yet-to-identified hoodlums.
This is coming barely three days after some thugs believed
to be sponsored by another political party, attacked PDP supporters in Zamfara
State.
Reacting to the Kaduna attack, the former lawmaker said the
development was a threat to the nation’s democracy and a slap on the faces of
Nigerians.
Saraki called on security agencies to immediately
investigate and unveil the people who perpetrated the unfortunate attack and
their sponsors.
The former presidential aspirant described the attack as a
sad development and a return to the dark days of politics in the country which,
according to him, is widely believed to have become a thing of the past.
“The attack on the Kaduna rally of the PDP by some
yet-to-be-named people was not just a threat to the nation’s democracy but an
indication that some elements are still bent on sabotaging and undermining the
success of next year’s general elections.
“This sad development is a big setback for our democracy. It represents a slap on the face of all Nigerians,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
