Atiku Blames Maiduguri Attack On APC, Says It’s Last Kick Of A Dying Horse

Atiku Abubakar has flayed the attack on his entourage in Maiduguri on Wednesday blaming it on the APC which he described as the last kicks of a dying horse.

A press release signed by the Media Adviser to Atiku, Paul Ibe, however noted that hoodlums wielding the flag of the All Progressives Congress attacked the convoy of vehicles conveying dignitaries to the venue of the Maiduguri rally.

“It is rather unfortunate that the APC in Borno State mobilized some of its members to attack the convoy carrying dignitaries who had earlier paid a courtesy visit at the Shehu of Borno palace to the venue of the rally.

“While it is well understood that such barbaric behaviour is typical of the APC, it must be noted that, this time around, it is specifically the last kick of a dying horse.

“The APC, apparently overwhelmed by the large turn of supporters to greet our presidential candidate, resorted to anti-democratic actions to scare the crowd away from the rally.

“It is a similar pattern to what happened during our rally in Kaduna State and it is important to call the attention of all stakeholders in peaceful elections in Nigeria to the dangerous actions being undertaken by the APC to disrupt our rallies, especially in the North,” Ibe said in quoting Atiku in remonstrating with the APC over the Maiduguri attack on his convoy.

The presidential flag bearer thanked supporters of the PDP for attending the rally.
