Peter Obi, who took his campaign train to Katsina State, told the crowd that if elected, he and his running mate Datti Baba- Ahmed would serve the country with all their strength.
He promised to keep all of his promises to Nigerians, urging voters to put their trust in him and his party to further develop the country. According to the campaign team, Obi was attacked by hoodlums on his way to the airport.
“On his (Obi) way to the airport, hoodlums attacked the car our candidate was riding in with heavy stones from his drivers side causing substantial damage to the vehicle. To the glory of God, Obi and other occupants of the car were unhurt.
“Subsequently, another set of thugs also threw stones outside the stadium which damaged several vehicles including that of our official stage crew,” the campaign team narrated in a statement signed by its Head of Media, Diran Onifade, on Tuesday.

“The two incidents taken together make us suspect that the attacks may have been premeditated at the behest of desperate politicians who had been deluding themselves with the false claim that they had the North-West locked up but are now shocked by the show of force of the Obidient movement in the region,” Onifade added.
While thanking Katsina residents who came out to support Obi’s campaign on Tuesday, the group urged security agencies to investigate the incident in order to prevent similar incidents in the future.
