Politics PDP Supporters Burned Down GEJ Campaign Buses - Buhari

[Vunderkind]

General Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has told the PDP to exclude him from any of the issues that have caused the burning of buses dedicated to President Goodluck Jonathan's campaign in Jos on Saturday.

Speaking through his campaign organization, Buhari said the incident was caused because there was a controversy over a 'rigged' PDP election in Plateau.

Premium Times reports below:
“PDP should leave us out of their wahala (trouble),” a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation, Garba Shehu, read.

“The incident in Jos was passed as a ‘PDP on PDP violence’ yesterday evening, flowing from their rigged primaries.

“That is the earliest security report we got. Nobody should change that and use it to demonize opponents.”

I don't personally think this is true. Although in Plateau state, some factions in the state were not pleased with the candidate that emerged. Not because he's not a good candidate but because he's also from the same tribe with the incumbent governor who has spent 8 years and is also going for senate. I have not heard of any assault or attack on any of GNS Pwajok (the gubernatorial candidate) campaign vehicles.

The fact that this incident took place along Bauchi road which is a Muslim dominated part of Jos city and also the APC hub in the state makes me doubt the report that GEJ's campaign vehicle was raized by aggrieved party members.

I don't believe in any of the candidates running for the presidential election but this young people chanting Buhari while burning GEJ's campaign bus may not have been from PDP.

.....APC supporters attacked APC supporters in Rivers state. Okay

.....APC supporters attacked APC supporters in Rivers state. Okay

That's very possible and I'm not saying this is not possible too.

The story could be true. The political thugs on both sides cannot see beyond their noses.
