The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said those unsettled
by the bid of its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to reclaim his
mandate are behind the plot to silence him.
PDP called for a comprehensive investigation into the
attempt by Boko Haram members to attack Atiku.
Recall that four suspected Boko Haram members were arrested
over plot to attack Atiku and some sensitive locations in Yola, Adamawa State.
Reacting, PDP’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, said the party is alarmed by the reported foiled terrorist attack on Atiku.
A statement by Ologunagba reads partly: “The PDP insists
that by the confession of the arrested assailants, the plot has the pawmarks of
a sponsored attempt on the life of Atiku Abubakar, ostensibly by forces who are
unsettled by his bid to retrieve his mandate at the Presidential Election
Petition Court (PEPC).
“Our party believes that the intent of the sponsors of this
evil plot is to silence our presidential candidate, massacre innocent Nigerians
and cause chaos, confusion and anarchy in the polity.
“The PDP asks, is this foiled attack on Atiku Abubakar and
sensitive locations in Yola, Adamawa connected to the recent APC’s threats of
chaos and anarchy in the country, if the PEPC upholds the clear provisions of
Section 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as
amended) with regard to the mandatory and statutory requirements for which a
Candidate in a Presidential election can be declared winner?”
