“The PDP has no one but itself to blame for the violent incident at its rally in Kaduna. The incident was simply a matter of a rented crowd that went irate when the party’s rent-a-crowd managers disappeared with funds meant to pay for the rented crowd.
“Rather than hold its head down in shame for the poor and distasteful showing at its Kaduna rally, the PDP seeks to scapegoat our party for its own gross acts and misconduct.
“To be clear, the APC has no hand in the attack as irresponsibly alleged by the PDP. We have no reason to be perturbed by the rally.”
Kaduna APC carpets Timi Frank, demands retraction on alleged PDP rally attack
The All Progressives Congress in Kaduna State has debunked claims by Timi Frank that Senator Uba Sani, APC gubernatorial candidate has masterminded an unverifiable attack on a rally for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in Kaduna.
A statement in response to Timi Frank’s allegations signed by Alhaji Salisu Tanko Wusono, APC’s publicity secretary in Kaduna state, described Frank as a professional hireling on a new assignment to complement his income as the so-called Ambassador of United Liberation Movement for West Papua, to East Africa and the Middle East.
Wusono noted that the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of All Progressives Congress(APC) is perfect for the hatchet job of running his mouth, going by his antecedent, on a matter that he is ill-informed about.
