The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno state, Ali Bukar Dalori, has said there was no attack by any APC member or supporter on any motorcade of any opposition party in the state.
PDP campaign spokesman, Dino Melaye, had earlier claimed that the ruling party sent thugs after them, injured 74 people and destroyed 100 vehicles when they campaigned in Borno state on Wednesday.
Dalori in a statement stressed that Melaye was always economical with the truth.
“I am disappointed by the allegations made by Dino Melaye that some APC thugs attacked Atiku’s motorcade while in Maiduguri for a rally.
“We all know that since Gov. Babagana Zulum took over the mantle of leadership, he banned all forms of thuggery in the state.
“Our ruling party is a law-abiding political party, and that is why we as government did not deny PDP a venue for its rally as experienced in some states.
“All I know is that there is no PDP in Borno, and if Melaye lacks what to tell the people of Borno to get their votes, he should desist from fabricating lies against our party,’’ Dalori said.
