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

The APC campaign council said this in a statement issued by its spokesperson and Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

The council also decried recent attacks at political gatherings in Edo, Cross River, and Gombe states, as well as other reported incidents targeting party supporters and political leaders across party lines.

The APC campaign council described the attacks as unacceptable and warned that acts of violence could undermine the peaceful conduct of the ongoing electioneering campaign.

“Our campaign strongly condemns the disruption of today’s scheduled town hall meeting of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos,” it said.

The council urged political parties, candidates, and their supporters to exercise restraint and refrain from actions capable of causing public disorder or escalating political tensions.

The APC 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.

“We call on the security agencies to be more responsive and alert in preventing political violence of any type and ensure instigators and perpetrators are apprehended and punished in accordance with the law.

“Political parties and candidates are enjoined to campaign on issues that uplift the lives of Nigerians and not to instigate violence at political events.”
