APC Condemns Disruption of NDC Lagos Meeting, Calls for Restraint Amid Rising Political Violence
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the disruption of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) town hall meeting in Lagos earlier today, calling on political parties, politicians, and their supporters to refrain from acts capable of triggering violence and public disorder.
The APC also expressed concern over recent attacks at political gatherings in Edo, Cross River, and Gombe, as well as other incidents of violence targeting political leaders and supporters across party lines.
In a statement issued by the Spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Alake, the party urged political actors to exercise restraint as electioneering campaigns continue, warning against actions that could create unnecessary crises and threaten public order.
It also called on security agencies to strengthen their vigilance and respond promptly to prevent political violence, while ensuring that those responsible for instigating or carrying out attacks are apprehended and punished in accordance with the law.
The party further urged political parties and candidates to focus their campaigns on issues that would improve the lives of Nigerians rather than engage in activities capable of provoking violence at political events.
