By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The Campaign Council of  the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  Governorship candidate in Kogi State, Engr. Musa Wada has accused loyalists of Governor Y Yahaya Bello of masterminding an assassination attack on Wada on Saturday.

In a statement issued by the Director of Public Communications to the Council, Comrade Austin Okai, on Saturday, the council noted what it claimed to be the deliberate attempt to cause chaos in Ankpa in order to intimidate party loyalists of the PDP governorship candidate.

It was disclosed, in the statement that,  the Deputy Speaker of Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Ahmed Ahmed and a Kogi State University lecturer, Dr Usman Ogbo were allegedly involved in the attack.

The Council, however, called for  investigations to what it claimed as  premeditated plan to cause chaos planned by some chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

The statement read in part:

“We want to raise the alarm over deliberate attack on the convoy of PDP Governorship candidate, Engineer Musa Wada at Ankpa by Deputy Speaker, Kogi State House Of Assembly, Honourable Ahmed Ahmed and one Dr Ogbo Usman, a strong supporter of Kogi governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

“We urge the state Commissioner of Police, Busari Hakeem and Director of State Security Services to immediately investigate the incident.

“There is a deliberate and premeditated plan to cause chaos at Ankpa and the adjoining community by some elite and top government officials from the area, knowing fully well that the PDP governorship candidate will visit the town today (Saturday.)

“The decision of the Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly, in company of Dr Usman Ogbo to drive into the convoy of the PDP candidate, was an attempt on his life and that of his innocent large followers.”
