NDC Spokesman Reacts As Supporters Successfully Repel Thugs Who Attacked Them At Party Gathering

The spokesperson of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Theo Abu Agada, has reacted after supporters of the party reportedly repelled an attack by suspected thugs during a town hall meeting in Lagos.

Abu Agada, in a post on X, said the NDC supporters successfully disarmed individuals he accused of attempting to disrupt the gathering, describing their response as courageous.

He also alleged that the attackers were members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing the ruling party and its supporters of relying on violence and electoral malpractice to win elections.

“Our courageous supporters successfully disarmed the APC thugs who came to disrupt our town hall meeting in Lagos today,” he wrote.

“The APC and its supporters know that without thugs and ballot-box snatching, they cannot win any election. APC is a useless political party. We are fully ready for them.”

The reaction followed a report by News Central TV, which said suspected thugs had attacked an NDC gathering in Lagos but were repelled by party members. The report added that one suspect had been apprehended.

However, details surrounding the incident, including the identities of those involved and the circumstances leading to the confrontation, were not provided in the report. 

Abu Agada’s allegation linking the attackers to the APC was also not independently established in the information available.
