Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, whose convoy inexplicably came under heavy attack in Maidugiri, has disclosed that 74 of his supporters were injured and are hospitalized.
The former Vice President who was on a Campaign for his Presidential project had paid the traditional courtesy call on the Shehu of Borno on arrival.
But just as Atiku’s convoy drove out of the Shehu’s Palace, thugs numbering over 100 swooped on and attacked it, and attacked from all sides with dangerous weapons.
The Spokesperson for the Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Dino Melaye, confirmed that no fewer than 74 people were injured and hospitalised..
The aim of the attack on the convoy which Dino said was the handiwork of the APC, was to stop the rally. But he assured that nobody can stop the Atiku campaign.
More than 10 vehicles were destroyed in the attack.
The Vice Presidential candidate of the APC is from Borno State where he was also a two-term Governor.
