APC Campaign Council in Katsina Condemns Violence, Promises Justice for Victims

The Tinubu/Dikko 2027 Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned attacks by suspected political thugs during its campaign in the Funtua Senatorial District of Katsina State. The council’s Director-General, Arch. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, made this statement while speaking to journalists at their headquarters in Dandagoro, Katsina.

Dangiwa expressed sympathy for the victims of the violence that occurred in Malumfashi and Yankara. He described the incidents as unfortunate and not in line with the principles of democracy. He assured residents that those responsible for the attacks will be brought to justice.

The Katsina State Government has instructed security agencies to ramp up investigations and ensure that the attackers are caught and prosecuted. Dangiwa also mentioned that measures are being implemented to prevent such violence from happening again. He condemned all forms of political violence and destruction of property, regardless of who is involved.

He praised the security forces for their response but urged them to thoroughly investigate all reported incidents. Dangiwa also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to quickly finalize a broader peace agreement, noting that local political parties had already signed a peace accord.

To avoid further clashes, he appealed to opposition parties to reconsider their campaign schedules and remove any campaign billboards that might lead to conflicts. Dangiwa thanked APC supporters, stakeholders, and media personnel for their cooperation during the recent 11-day campaign tour, which covered all 11 local government areas in the Funtua district.

With the Funtua campaign phase completed, the council plans to move to the Daura Senatorial District next. Dangiwa promised that future campaigns would focus on better coordination and community engagement, while highlighting the achievements of the Tinubu and Radda administrations. He encouraged APC members to remain united and respectful towards supporters of other parties.
