PDP's Usman Shehu Bawa Denounces Attack on Campaign Rally
Usman Shehu Bawa, the Kaduna State Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), condemned a violent attack on the campaign rally of the party's House of Representatives candidate in Kafanchan. In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Yusuf Idris, Bawa described the attack as primitive and detrimental to democracy, indicating it reflects the desperation of some political leaders.
He called on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to create an enabling environment for opposition parties to present their manifestos to the electorate. Bawa criticized the APC for allegedly sending thugs to disrupt the rally, suggesting this indicates their lack of confidence in delivering democratic benefits.
He warned that such violence foreshadows challenges as the 2027 general elections approach and urged security agencies to remain neutral. Bawa reassured PDP supporters to stay calm, asserting that the party's victory is assured.
