By SADIQ ABUBAKAR, Maiduguri –
The Borno State Chairman of The All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon Ali Bukar Dalori has debunked the rumours making the rounds that there was an attack by APC thugs on the convoy of the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday in Maiduguri.
Recall that the spokesman of Atiku Campain Organization, Dino Meleye had while addressing mammoth crowd at Ramat Square, alleged that the APC thugs attacked the convoy of Atiku Abubakar along Shehuri ward after paying homage to the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Garbai Elkanemi.
Reacting to the allegations, Dalori in telephone interview with our correspondent on Wednesday, described Dino Melaye as ‘a liar and always not upright with the truth’.
He said: “I am disappointed by the allegations made by Dino Meleye that some APC thugs attacked Atiku’s convoy while in Maiduguri for their Presidential Campaign rally.
“We all know that, since Governor Babagana Zulum takes over the mantle of leadership, in his acceptance speech was to ban all political thuggery across the state.
“Our ruling party is a law abiding political party, and that was why we as government did not deny PDP venue for their rally as witnessed in some states.
“All I know is that there is no PDP in Borno, and if Dino Meleye would lack what he will tell the people of Borno on what they intend to converse for votes, he should desist from fabricating lies against our Party”. Hon Dalori stated.
