After a successful rally in Katsina state, Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, and members of his campaign staff were attacked.

The attack on the presidential candidate was denounced by Diran Onifade, Head of Media for the Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign Council.

He said in a statement;

“Our candidate had met with women in a townhall and then held a hugely successful Rally at the Muhammad Dikko Stadium. However, on his way to the airport, hoodlums attacked the car our candidate was riding in with heavy stones from his drivers’ side causing substantial damage to the vehicle.
