APC Condemns Violence in Kaduna, Rivers States’ Congresses

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned reported cases of violence pertaining to the Party’s state congresses held last Saturday, July 30 to elect delegates for the planned national non-elective convention.
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 regretted and condemned the attack on the National Union of Journalist (NUJ) Secretariat in Kaduna which resulted in injuries to two journalists.
The Party said it will investigate the reported cases and take necessary action in line with the Party’s constitution against whoever is found culpable.
However, the Party has congratulated and commended the states whose exercises went peacefully. “Where grievances have been reported, the Party shall examine such cases and address them accordingly,” the APC National Secretary, John Odigie-Oyegun said on Thursday, August 3 in a statement.
