The All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, have told the Peoples Democratic Party to count them out of the issues that led to the burning of a campaign bus of President Goodluck Jonathan in Jos, Plateau State.
The position of Buhari and the APC was stated by the Director of Media and Publicity of the party’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement on Sunday.
Titled: “PDP should leave us out of their wahala (trouble),” the statement said: “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.”
Shehu said Buhari was the first to condemn this incident the moment it was reportedon Saturday.
Shehu quoted from Buhari’s Twitter handle: “I have been informed of the burning of PDP campaign buses in Jos today. This is unacceptable! There is no excuse for this violence.
“I am hoping that the Police will immediately investigate, arrest and prosecute the culprits. Our democracy cannot tolerate violence in any form.”
