The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo, says  it will suspend its campaign over attack on the home of Mr Ikenga Ugochinyere, the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Ideato North/South.

This is contained in a statement by Mr Ray Emeana, the party’s State Secretary  in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said the campaign would be suspended for one week,  adding that the party had also resolved to stage a protest over the attack of the candidate’s hometown in Akokwa, Imo.

He alledged that on Jan. 14, motorcades conveying gunmen, arsonists stormed the residence of Ugochinyere where four persons were allegedly killed including his Uncle.

Ugochinyere is also the Spokesman of Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP.
