Senate President, Senator David Mark has condemned the consistent attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign train describing the actions of the perpetrators as despicable .
Senator Mark said the attacks on the PDP was an affront on democracy
and a betrayal of the peace pact entered into by the political parties
and their candidates.
Speaking at the flag off of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) PDP Presidential and National Assembly campaign in Bwari area council near Abuja yesterday, the Senate President said the conduct of the supporters of opposition party was condemnable by any right thinking member of the society.
According to him, “We condemn these unwarranted violent attacks on the PDP and its candidates. They have campaigned in other parts of the country without molestation. We should be allowed to campaign freely. The opposition must stop this desperation and allow Nigerians to decide.
“This election must not be a do or die affair. The campaign is an avenue to tell the electorate what you have done and what you intend to do for them. It should not be turned to a battle field.”’
He further said, “Any democracy that stops Nigerians from moving round freely is not the type of democracy we want. Nigerians must be free to go to the south and to the North without hinderance. Those who want to encourage hatred amongst Nigerians must think twice. We must allow for freedom of movement.”
