The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has condemned the recent wave of violence at political gatherings across the country, calling on security agencies to arrest and prosecute those responsible.
The council specifically condemned the disruption of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) scheduled town hall meeting in Lagos on Thursday, describing attacks on political gatherings and supporters of different political parties as unacceptable.
In a press statement issued on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the spokesperson of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Alake, said the council was concerned about reports of violent incidents in Edo, Cross River and Gombe states, as well as attacks targeting political leaders and supporters across party lines.
Alake said the council strongly condemned the disruption of the NDC town hall meeting in Lagos, stressing that political activities should be conducted in an atmosphere of peace and mutual respect.
He urged political parties, politicians and their supporters to exercise restraint as electioneering activities gather momentum, warning against actions capable of triggering unnecessary crises and public disorder.
The APC campaign council also called on security agencies to strengthen their response to political violence by remaining alert and taking proactive measures to prevent attacks at political events.
It further demanded the arrest and prosecution of those who instigate or participate in such acts, in accordance with the law.
Alake urged political parties and candidates to focus their campaigns on issues that would improve the lives of Nigerians rather than engage in activities capable of inciting violence.
The council’s statement comes amid reports of attacks and disruptions at political gatherings in different parts of the country, raising concerns about the safety of political actors and supporters as preparations for future elections intensify.
