Despite the denial of a venue to hold its mega rally in Abuja, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed to hold the event, warning that any more assault on its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will draw dire consequences from Nigerians. The spokesman of the party, Kola Ologbodiyan, who made this assertion at a press conference in Abuja on Saturday, also said that the more Atiku is attacked by the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), the more widespread his support becomes. “However, any further attack on our campaign will, therefore, attract very dire response from Nigerians who look up to Atiku Abubakar to salvage our dear nation from the social, economic and political despondency, which President Buhari has plunged her into. “In any case, let it be known to President Buhari and the APC that the PDP and the people’s candidate will definitely hold our Presidential mega rally in Abuja irrespective of any further encumbrance they may attempt to foist. Nigeria belongs to all of us and nobody can stop us from exercising our constitutionally guaranteed right of holding our rally in the FCT or any other part of our country for that matter.”
