“I stand in sympathy with the APC and the families of the injured on behalf of my squad,” the player said.
Atiku Abubakar has spoken out against what happened at an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday.
The police said it was a “fracas” between members of the Rumuwoji community over the sharing formula for the money paid to them for renting the playground where the event took place, contrary to the APC’s claims that there was an explosion that resulted in five deaths and numerous injuries.
Atiku replied that something like this shouldn’t be allowed in the country’s democracy.
“Violence and anti-democratic demonstrations have no place in this election.” In the peace agreement we all signed, we agreed to that. “Elections are not a life-or-death situation; rather, they are a chance for us to demonstrate our faith in democracy by choosing our leaders through adult suffrage,” said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate late Thursday.
“We had expressed our outrage over the acts of violence that had been committed against our party in several places because we did not want them to continue if those responsible for anti-democratic activities were not held accountable.” As a result of the explosion at the APC event in Port Harcourt, our greatest fears have finally come true. It has been rejected.
APC’s “Standing With”
In expressing his condolences to the APC and the relatives of the dead, the former vice president insisted that “elections and the decisions we make should be about the ballot and not the bullet.”
“I stand in sympathy with the APC and the families of the injured on behalf of my team. I hope the injured person recovers quickly.
“Once more, I urge security agencies to take steps to guarantee that those responsible for this heinous act, including its promoters, are brought to justice to serve as a deterrent to copycats who might be inspired to tread this same anti-democratic path,” she continued.
