The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has condemned recent violent attacks at political gatherings across Nigeria and urged security agencies to arrest those responsible.
In a statement issued on November 12, 2026, by its spokesperson, Dele Alake, the council described the attacks reported in Edo, Cross River, Gombe and other parts of the country as “condemnable.” The violence, it said, had targeted party supporters and political leaders across party lines.

The council specifically condemned the disruption of a scheduled town hall meeting of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos on the same day.
“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 said.
It called on security agencies to be more responsive and alert in preventing political violence of any kind and to ensure that instigators and perpetrators are apprehended and punished in accordance with the law.
The APC Presidential Campaign Council also urged political parties and candidates to focus their campaigns on issues that improve the lives of Nigerians rather than actions that could spark violence at political events.
