Below is an extract of the statement released by the PDP Presidential Campaign Council,
In the first instance, we are suspending our campaign for 72 hours. It is our hope that President

Muhammadu Buhari will listen to the voice of all lovers of democracy the world over and restore democracy in Nigeria immediately and without qualifications.
At the moment, President

Muhammadu Buhari has effectively suspended the constitution under whose basis the elections are being contested.
The action of President Muhammadu Buhari represents a constitutional breach and a direct attack on our democracy. This must never be allowed to stand, as there is no way by which democracy can survive under these autocratic tendencies.
We call on all well meaning Nigerians and members of the international community to rise in defence of democracy and save our nation from this imminent slide into tyranny.
