The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has condemned the disruption of a scheduled town hall meeting of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos, calling on security agencies to arrest and prosecute those responsible for political violence across the country.

The council’s reaction followed a series of reported attacks at political gatherings in Edo, Cross River and Gombe states, as well as other incidents targeting political leaders and supporters across party lines.

In a statement issued on Thursday, November 12, and signed by its spokesperson, Dele Alake, the council described the attacks as condemnable and warned political parties and their supporters against actions capable of triggering public disorder.

It specifically condemned the disruption of the NDC’s scheduled town hall meeting in Lagos, stressing that political disagreements should not degenerate into violence.

“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,” the statement read.

The campaign council urged security agencies to strengthen their response to political violence by taking preventive measures and ensuring that those behind the attacks are apprehended.

It also called for the prosecution and punishment of instigators and perpetrators in accordance with the law.

The council further urged political parties and candidates to focus their campaigns on policies and issues capable of improving the lives of Nigerians rather than encouraging violence at political events.

The statement comes amid growing concerns over attacks and disruptions at political gatherings as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
