PDP Stalwart Condemns Destruction Of Campaign Billboards

BY AMOS TAUNA, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Deputy Campaign Coordinator in Kaduna state, Comrade Danjuma Bello Sarki, has condemned the destruction of billboards, following the launch of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Kaduna on Friday. President Muhammadu Buhari was in Kaduna in continuation of his campaign nationwide in preparation for the presidential election scheduled for February 16, 2019
Speaking to Forefront, he said, “It has come to our notice that the billboards and other mementos of our presidential candidate, His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and that of our governorship candidate, Hon. Isa Ashiru, mounted at strategic points in Kaduna metropolis and other local government areas have either been vandalised, destroyed or completely removed by suspected agents of a leading political party in the state.
“We are not unaware of the fact that after our last gubernatorial campaign rally at the Trade Fair Complex in Kaduna, some parties, seeing the unimaginable number of people that turned up, have become jittery and desperate to save themselves from the glaring rejection by the people of the state.
“They resort to violence as shown by the pulling down of our billboards to give the false impression that there’s no opposition party in Kaduna State is one of the ways the APC is trying to get over this shock but this is highly condemnable.”
He called on the security agencies to act quickly to save the state from brigandage and lawlessness.
“We call on our teeming supporters to keep the faith and not to lose hope as the journey to rescue the state from tyranny, oppression and impudent leadership will soon be over,” he said.
