“PDP observes that it is becoming the norm rather than aberration that its publicity materials are wantonly destroyed by suspected agents of the APC as was the case only a few days back in the Makurdi/ Guma axis where billboards promoting candidates of our great party at Agan Toll Gate, Daudu and Yelwata were vandalised anf defaced.
“As a political party, we are committed to the rule of law as consistently advocated by our leader, Governor Samuel Ortom, that it remains the only recourse to seeking redress for those wrongs against us, and have duly lodged our complaints with law enforcement agencies.
“We, however, demand an end to this ugly trend as continued lawlessness would at some point beget lawlessness, no matter the docility of the party at the receiving end of it – the victim.”
