PDP Presidential Campaign Youths stones Dignitaries With Stones n Slippers

In Bauchi state the Peoples Democratic Party presidential campaign rally started off in controversy as angry youths stoned dignitaries with hammer, stones and slippers.

The youth who were earlier in a peaceful mood suddenly turned angry before the arrival of President Goodluck Jonathan and his entourage.

In their rampage, the young men destroyed canopies and campaign materials but the reason for their anger is yet to be ascertained. 

Earlier the supporters had sung solidarity songs for the President and the PDP and marched round the venue with their drums and placards with the President’s picture.

Then later started rioting, this forced the police to intervene and disperse the large number of thugs.

This is the second time this sort of behavior has been recorded at a PDP campaign On Monday Governor Isa Yuguda and other dignitaries were victims of an angry youth attack in Darazo mini-stadium by believed supporters of the opposition All Progressives Congress. 

FCT Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed came off worst as he was stoned with a sachet water in the middle of his speech.

The Senator then begged the president and fellow party members to ignore the thugs and blamed the APC for the attack.

“Fellow supporters of PDP, lets ignore what is happening. This is politics. It is the handwork of those who are bent on destroying politics in Nigeria,” he added.

When he shouted, “Nigeria”, the crowd shouted back “sai Buhari”, “sai Baba Buhari”, others chanted “Bamayi,” “Bamayi”, meaning we don’t support PDP.
