Press Statement
Re: Attack on PDP Youth Circuit Member
…..We condemn the assault.
……It was not our chairman.
Our attention has been drawn to the report making the rounds in the media about an incident in which a member of the PDP Youth Circuit was attacked and assaulted. After proper investigations by our leadership, it was deemed necessary that we make the following clarifications known to the public:
1- The PDP Youth Circuit member that was criminally assaulted by the management and staff of Cubana in Abuja is Barrister Anthony Ehilobo our National Programs Officer and not our National Chairman, Lai Labode as being erroneously reported by some media establishments and news sites.
2- The attack on Anthony Ehilobo is purely a personal matter and he wishes to treat it as such.
3- The PDPYC is aware of the matter and totally condemns the assault on one of its members.
4- We are aware that the victim of the assault, Anthony Ehilobo has reported the matter at the Maitama Police Station and that he has initiated legal proceedings against Cubana.
5- Barister Ehilobo has our support and we hope that he gets justice as soon as possible.
