PDP Demands Investigation into Attack on Campaign Team

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemned reported attacks on its Cross River State campaign team during a consultation tour across the state. The party called for an investigation by security agencies into the incident, which involved armed thugs vandalizing vehicles, firing sporadically, and injuring supporters.

In a statement issued on Monday by Hon. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, the PDP emphasized that such attacks threaten democratic participation and the rights of political parties. The party raised concerns that the attacks may have been sponsored by the Cross River State governor, although it did not provide evidence for this claim.

The PDP criticized the governor's administration for its lack of transparency regarding project delivery and financial resource utilization. Despite the attacks, the PDP affirmed its commitment to continue engaging with residents and promoting democratic participation ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The party urged residents to remain peaceful and called on political actors to avoid actions that could incite violence.
