Thugs set ablaze PDP guber campaign office in Gombe

The Campaign Office of Mohammed Barde, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Candidate for the 2023 governorship election in Gombe State, has been set on fire.

The office close to the Presidential Lodge of Gombe Government House was reportedly set ablaze by political thugs in the early hours of Monday.

Details of the attack were sketchy as of the time of filing this report, but the PDP has blamed it on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement, Barde confirmed the attack, saying properties were destroyed.

“You have seen the pictures; yes the attack happened and we will get full details before going public.

“We have started an investigation because the attack happened in the night and it is too early to give details now.

“So just give me a little more time and we will get you the details.”

The commissioner of police appealed to political stakeholders to guard the peace in the state and not create tension while carrying out their political activities in the state.

Etim advised the youth to stay away from engaging in any acts that could breach peace, law and order.

He stated that the police would not tolerate any breach of peace, “as you are aware we recently arrested and paraded some hoodlums causing a disturbance in the metropolis”.

Reports indicate that the campaign billboards within the office complex of Barde’s campaign office were burnt in the early hours of Monday by suspected thugs.
