Hoodlums attack Peter Obi in Katsina

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, and members of his campaign team were attacked in Katsina State.

This came following a successful rally in the state.

The Head of Media, Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign Council, Diran Onifade, criticised the attack on the presidential flagbearer and his loyalists.

He said: “Our candidate had met with women in a townhall and then held a hugely successful Rally at the Muhammad Dikko Stadium. However, on his way to the airport, hoodlums attacked the car our candidate was riding in with heavy stones from his drivers’ side causing substantial damage to the vehicle.

“To the glory of God, Mr Obi and other occupants of the car were unhurt. Subsequently another set of thugs also threw stones outside the stadium which damaged several vehicles including that of our official stage crew.”
