Some opposition supporters Democratic Party of the Peoples (PDP) on Sunday washed the Mallam Aminu Kano Triangle, Jigawa State, the headquarters of the ruling party’s presidential campaign.
The cleanup exercise comes hours after All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu held a rally at the site on Saturday.
PDP supporters led by Umar Danjani, the Jigawa youth leader of the PDP campaign council for Atiku Abubakar, accused APC supporters in the state of corrupting the campaign site built by former Governor Sule Lamido.
The youth leader said that the APC has done nothing in the state, claiming that it was after the PDP administration that kidnapping for ransom and other social vices became common in the state.
Danjani said the APC rally was a success because of the venue and airport built by the PDP administration, ensuring that the people of Jigawa will vote to remove the APC from power in the upcoming general election.
He said the cleanup exercise was also meant to clean up the bloodstain from the slaughter of farmers, pastoralist crises that APC management failed to address.
“Jigawa is a stronghold of the PDP, and the party is poised to return to power after years of failed APC trial.
“We are here to sweep away all the diseases, bad leadership, insecurity, hunger, poverty and division that have brought here, as the PDP plan to rebuild hope for the common man,” Mr. Danjani said.
