The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba in Abuja on Monday, described it as unprovoked attack which was reprehensible.
Ologunagba said the aim of the perpetrator was to frustrate the PDP presidential rally, trigger tension, violence and cause bloodletting in Kaduna State.
“This is contrary to the undertaking in the Peace Accord signed by political parties on Sept. 28 by presidential candidates.
“The attack today must give well-meaning Nigerians concern as some report allege that the vicious assault on the PDP Presidential Campaign was spearheaded by a governorship candidate in Kaduna State,” he said.
Ologunagba said that those behind the attack were intimidated by Atiku Abubakar’s popularity and acceptance among majority of Nigerians.
“In any case, our party is undeterred by such cowardly attack as Nigerians are already connected with our issue-based campaign and Abubakar’s message of hope which is already resonating throughout the nooks and crannies of our country.
“The PDP salutes the courage displayed by the people of Kaduna State in coming out enmasse to resist and overwhelm the party response for the attack and its agents.
