APC-PCC Denounces Violence Against NDC Supporters in Lagos

The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC) has spoken out against the attacks on supporters of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) that occurred on Thursday in Lagos.

According to reports, a group of individuals armed with cutlasses, clubs, and stones disrupted a town hall meeting in the Oregun area, causing chaos and forcing attendees to flee for safety.

Dele Alake, the spokesperson for the APC-PCC, expressed concern over the increasing violence at political events, stating that such attacks are aimed at party supporters and leaders from various political groups.

The APC-PCC called on security agencies to take stronger action to prevent these incidents, arrest those responsible, and ensure they face legal consequences. The council noted that similar violent incidents have been reported in other states, including Edo, Cross River, and Gombe.

In their statement, the APC-PCC emphasized the need for political parties and their supporters to engage in peaceful campaigning and to focus on issues that benefit Nigerians, rather than resorting to violence.

As the election campaign continues, the APC-PCC urged all political actors to maintain decorum and avoid actions that could lead to unrest.
