APC Campaign Council Condemns Political Violence, Calls For Arrest Of Perpetrators
ABUJA — The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has strongly condemned the recent wave of violent attacks at political gatherings across Nigeria, calling on security agencies to apprehend and prosecute those responsible.
In a press statement issued on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the spokesperson for the campaign council, Dele Alake, denounced reported acts of violence directed at political leaders and party supporters across party lines in Edo, Cross River, and Gombe states.
The council specifically condemned the disruption of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) town hall meeting held in Lagos on Thursday.
“As we proceed with the electioneering campaign, political parties, politicians, and supporters must restrain themselves and avoid acts that could create needless crisis and public disorder,” Alake stated.
The APC campaign urged law enforcement and security agencies to be more proactive and alert in preventing political violence.
It emphasized the need for authorities to ensure that both the instigators and perpetrators of such attacks are arrested and punished in accordance with the law.
Concluding the statement, the council enjoined all political parties and candidates to focus on issue-based campaigns aimed at improving the lives of Nigerians rather than instigating violence at political events.
