?The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has expressed deep concern over the recent spate of violent attacks at political gatherings across parts of the country.
The reported incidents in Edo, Cross River, and Gombe states—alongside other acts of aggression targeted at party supporters and political leaders across party lines—are entirely condemnable.
?In particular, the campaign strongly condemns the disruption of today’s scheduled town hall meeting of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos.
?As electioneering activities continue, political parties, candidates, and their supporters are urged to exercise restraint and refrain from actions capable of triggering needless crises and public disorder.
?The Council calls on security agencies to remain alert and proactive in preventing all forms of political violence, ensuring that both instigators and perpetrators are swiftly apprehended and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
?Furthermore, political parties and candidates are enjoined to focus their campaigns on issue-based engagements that uplift the lives of Nigerians, rather than inciting violence at political events.
