We Now know The Reason Tinubu Refused To Sign The First Peace Accord – Atiku-Okowa Campaign Laments

The Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization, has blamed the attack on Nigerians in it’s Lagos rally on suspected thugs acting under the instruction of the All Progressives Congress (APC), presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu

A spokesperson for the PDP Campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan said this in a statement in Abuja, on Monday.

According to him, Tinubu has decided to attack Nigerians In Lagos and other states because they refused to support his Ill-fated candidacy.

Ologbondiyan opined that the attack was an inexcusable attack of violence and showed that the APC flag bearer was now grasping at straws. The party noted that Tinubu who seems frustrated by the outcome of his campaign has now resorted to violence.

Ologbondiyan said, “Our Campaign describes the attack as an inexcusable act of cowardice that can only come from a deflated Presidential candidate of the APC who is now clutching at straws.

“The campaign notes with pains the alarm raised by Nigerians, particularly women, over vicious physical attacks unleashed on them by Tinubu agents in Lagos State just because they are members as well as supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

“It is appalling that instead of humbly accepting his rejection by Nigerians across the country given his baggage of incapacities, the APC Presidential Candidate had resorted to venting his frustrations by unleashing violence on innocent Nigerians.

“Nigerians are shocked by the viral video showing victims of Tinubu’s agent’s crying and calling for help over their destroyed property and means of livelihood in Lagos State just because they have chosen to support Atiku Abubakar, who embodies the hope of Nigerians for a better nation.

“The public is invited to note the eyewitness account of the involvement of Tinubu’s agents including the “SA to the Governor of Lagos State, Hadji Awondu; Jamiu Erin, Muri Bebe; Saheed Leader among others in the violent attack.”

Speaking further, Atiku/ Okowa Campaign said they were not shocked at the gimmicks employed by Tinubu, maintaining that he was trying to derail their party electoral process because he has been rejected.

The campaign organisation went on to claim that the reason Tinubu refused to sign the first national peace accord was because he had an ulterior motive.

According to him, “It is clear that the purpose of this attack is to instill fear, foist a siege mentality on Nigerians and create voter apathy by making our nation to appear unsafe for Nigerians to come out and vote.

“This further explains why Tinubu refused to sign the first National Peace Accord and why he established a militia code-named Jagaban Army; which is now being armed to unbridle violence on Nigerians and disrupt the 2023 general elections.

“In any case, our campaign wants Tinubu to know that recruitment of thugs to engage in wanton destruction of the property and businesses of Nigerians in Lagos and other states will not yield him electoral victory on February 25.”
