The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has claimed that those dissatisfied with its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, are behind the attempt to silence him.
The PDP demanded a thorough inquiry into the attempted assassination of Atiku by Boko Haram members.
Four alleged Boko Haram members were arrested, according to news reports, in connection with a conspiracy to target Atiku and some important facilities in Yola, Adamawa State.
PDP spokesman Debo Ologunagba responded by saying the party is concerned about the purported failed terrorist attack on Atiku.

A statement by Ologunagba reads partly: “The PDP insists that by the confession of the arrested assailants, the plot has the pawmarks of a sponsored attempt on the life of Atiku Abubakar, ostensibly by forces who are unsettled by his bid to retrieve his mandate at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).
“Our party believes that the intent of the sponsors of this evil plot is to silence our presidential candidate, massacre innocent Nigerians and cause chaos, confusion and anarchy in the polity.
“The PDP asks, is this foiled attack on Atiku Abubakar and sensitive locations in Yola, Adamawa connected to the recent APC’s threats of chaos and anarchy in the country, if the PEPC upholds the clear provisions of Section 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) with regard to the mandatory and statutory requirements for which a Candidate in a Presidential election can be declared winner?”
