Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari has disowned any of his supporters across the country that attack his political opponent in any form or resort to any form of violence during the ongoing political campaigns and after.
General Buhari, who was reacting to the reported attack in Jos, Plateau State capital, on the buses belonging to his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, President Goodluck Jonathan campaign organization, condemned the attack.
Though, reports coming from Jos have indicated that the violence and burning of campaign buses was as a result of a clash between two factions of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), but the APC flag bear still condemned it in its entirety.
“I have received news of violence in Jos today. I condemn this violence in its entirety. I reject any supporter who resorts to violence. Like I said after the attack on our supporters in Rivers this week, elections are not war.
“Professor Yemi Osinbajo and I stand in total condemnation of this incident. I call on the PDP to join this call for peace. Every Nigerian life is sacred.”
General Buhari emphasized, at an event in Enugu, Anambra state, in the South East, the need for peaceful elections. [myad]
