APC Campaign Council Condemns Violent Political Attacks, Calls For Arrest of Perpetrators
The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC) has strongly condemned the recent wave of violence at political gatherings across parts of Nigeria.
The council’s reaction was contained in a statement dated November 12, 2026, and signed by its spokesperson, Dele Alake.
“The reported attacks in Edo, Cross River, and Gombe, as well as other violence targeted at party supporters and political leaders across party lines, are condemnable,” the campaign council stated. It specifically decried the disruption of today’s scheduled town hall meeting of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos.
The council called on security agencies to prevent future occurrences and ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended and dealt with in accordance with the law.
Urging political actors to embrace issues-based campaigns while shunning utterances that could instigate violence, the council added: “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.”
