APC condemns attacks on NDC, urges police to arrest perpetrators

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has denounced recent assaults on political events in various parts of Nigeria, citing the disruption of an NDC town hall meeting in Lagos. In a statement released on Friday, the APC spokesperson, Dele Alake, appealed to political entities and their supporters to demonstrate restraint and refrain from actions that could incite unrest as the election period intensifies.

A town hall event backed by the NDC in Lagos was recently interfered with by assailants, and political turmoil has been documented in several regions of the country in anticipation of the 2027 presidential election. The campaign council labeled the assaults in Edo, Cross River, and Gombe, as well as other incidents of violence directed at party members and leaders across party affiliations, as unacceptable.
