By David Odama
People suspected to be hired thugs, armed with weapons such as machetes, Knives, iron rods, sticks, and other dangerous items yesterday disrupted a peaceful thank-you visit in Karu Local Government of Nasarawa state.
The suspected thugs who came in their numbers invaded the PDP Secretariat, venue of the meeting chasing party officials, stakeholders, and excited supporters.
The invasion would have been bloody but for the quick intervention of the PDP State Chairman, Adamu Bako Ninga, and the security agencies who were on hand at the venue of the meeting.
Reasons for the invasion of the meeting weren’t clear at the time of filling this report, but fingers were however being pointed at the ruling party for masterminding the invasion in Karu Local government.
It would be recalled that party officials led by the state Chairman, Adamu Bako Ninga had paid a successful courtesy call on the Etsu Karu, HRH, Pharmacist Luka Panya Baba to seek the blessings of the monarch.
Speaking to journalists shortly after the incident, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Alhaji Adamu Bako Ninga urged citizens, and supporters to remain peaceful in the face of any plots by those whose interest is to cause mayhem, chaos, and an unsafe atmosphere for the people in the state.
Adamu Ninga, stressed that the PDP is known for its peaceful nature, and will not succumb to intimidation, harassment, or threats to its organisation and plans. He assured that the party’s readiness to reclaim their 2023 stolen mandate, willingly given by the people of Nasarawa State will not be shaken, and remains on track.
“We will not be intimidated or allow ourselves to be cowed or distracted in our desire to rescue Nasarawa State from slavery, government-induced hardship, and poverty”.
“We, therefore call on the people, party stakeholders, and supporters to remain calm, shun provocations, play politics devoid of rancorous acrimony as well as live in peace with one another in the interest of our dear Nasarawa
