The APC Presidential Campaign Council has condemned a series of attacks at political gatherings, including the disruption of a scheduled town hall meeting organised by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos, and urged security agencies to arrest those responsible.

In a statement dated November 12, 2026, council spokesperson Dele Alake said the reported attacks in Edo, Cross River and Gombe, along with violence targeting party supporters and political leaders across party lines, were condemnable.

The council called on political parties, politicians and supporters to exercise restraint during the election campaign and avoid actions that could lead to public disorder.

It also urged security agencies to take a more proactive role in preventing political violence and to apprehend and punish those who instigate or carry out attacks, in accordance with the law. Parties and candidates, the statement said, should focus their campaigns on issues that improve Nigerians’ lives rather than inciting violence at political events.
