APC condemns violence in state congresses

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned reported cases of violence pertaining to the Party’s state congresses held last Saturday, to elect delegates for the planned national non-elective convention.

The National Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun in Abuja on Thursday said that, while noting that most of the state congresses were peaceful and conducted in compliance with guidelines and directives given by the Party to the appointed congress committees, the APC finds cases of violence in Rivers and Kaduna States quite disturbing.

The Party equally regrets and condemns the attack on the National Union of Journalist (NUJ) Secretariat in Kaduna which resulted in injuries to two journalists.

Oyegun promised to investigate the reported cases and take necessary action in line with the Party’s constitution against whoever is found culpable.

The Party however congratulated and commend all the states whose exercise went peacefully, and where grievances have been reported, the Party said it shall examine such cases and address them accordingly.
