Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Muhammadu Buhari has condemned reports of election violence in Jos, Plateau State capital. “I have received news of violence in Jos today,” he said Sunday in a statement from his media office.
“I condemn this violence in its entirety. I reject any supporter who resorts to violence. Like I said after the attack on our supporters in Rivers this week, elections are not wars,” Buhari said.
Reports indicate that the violence and burning of campaign buses was a result of a clash between two factions of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The APC flag bearer added that “Professor Yemi Osinbajo and I stand in total condemnation of this incident. I call on the PDP to join this call for peace. Every Nigerian life is sacred.”
Buhari earlier emphasised his call for peaceful elections at campaign rallies in Anambra and in Enugu, where tens of thousands of Nigerians attended.
