‘PDP Planning To Stone Buhari In Ondo’ - Buhari Campaign Co-ordinator

The Buhari Campaign Co-ordinator for Ondo State,
Mr. Ife Oyedele, has alleged that the Peoples
Democratic Party in the state is plotting to organise
youths to attack the convoy of Maj.-Gen
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), the presidential
candidate of the opposition All Progressives
Congress, during his campaign in Akure on
Saturday (tomorrow).
Oyedele, at a conference organised by the
Muhammadu Buhari Legacy Foundation, an NGO
rallying support for Buhari, in Akure on Thursday,
said the PDP plot was to serve as retaliation for the
attack on the convoy of President Goodluck
Jonathan in Katsina on Tuesday.
He said, "The PDP is organising thugs to stone our
convoy on Saturday. They are recruiting thugs that
will be throwing stones at General Buhari, just to
give the impression that he is not loved by the
people of the state.
"But we shall resist it. We have also petitioned the
commissioner of police in the state on this.
"We expect the security agencies to do what they
are paid to do."
Also, the Coordinator of the Buhari Legacy
Foundation, Chief Kolawole James, said the
foundation was committed to complementing the
efforts of the APC in the state to ensure that Buhari
emerged the country's president during the next
month's election.
He noted that Buhari remained a credible candidate,
dedicated to bringing the desired change to Nigeria
and the people of Ondo State.
Responding, the state chapter of the PDP refuted
the allegation, saying the party represented civility
and decency.
Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Ondo State, Banji
Okunomo, said, "The PDP is a very decent party.
President Goodluck Jonathan represents civility and
conducts his affairs in a peaceful manner.
"We cannot toe the line of the animalistic
tendencies of some people as shown in the incident
in Katsina.
"Our members will never do such a thing, and there
are people who will do it on Saturday, please do
not attribute it to PDP members because PDP
members will never do that."
