While condemning the back-to-back attacks on President Goodluck Jonathan and the campaign train of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senate President, Senator David Mark, has warned against turning the elections into a battle.
According to Mark, election is not a do or die affair, and as such, politicians should be allowed to campaign freely wherever they want, in any part of the country.
The Sentae President made the calls at the flag off of the PDP’s Presidential and National Assembly campaign in Abuja, on Friday, January 23.
He said: “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.”
Speaking further, he 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.”
This david mark is a big fool like the president GEJ. Its your useless PIG D P attack dogs that you should be talking to. The more they insult the APC presidential candidate the angrier people get and hate GEJ and your useless PIG D P. Its your criminal party that is responsible for the tension. I cant wait to vote out the fool.
