The National leadership of the people’s democratic party (PDP) has described as dastardly, unwarranted and unprovoked, yesterday’s police tear-gassing of some of its leaders, including the president of the senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and some State Governors.
In a statement by the spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said that no amount of attacks, aggression or acts of intimidation will deter it from confronting and dismantling the “rigging machinery” of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and coast to victory in 2019.
The statement read in part:
The whole world was shocked when the police physically assaulted, fired tear gas canisters and violently dispersed our Party leaders who were on a peaceful protest to the force headquarters, Abuja, over the use of police by the APC to rig elections, particularly the September 22, 2018, Osun state governorship election.
