APC-PCC Reacts After Thugs Disrupt NDC Meeting in Lagos

According to a report by The Vanguard on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC) has condemned the attack on the town hall meeting of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos, calling on security agencies to arrest and punish those behind it.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the council’s spokesperson, Dele Alake, described the disruption of the NDC’s scheduled gathering as unacceptable.

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

The reaction comes after suspected political thugs armed with cutlasses, cudgels, sticks and stones stormed the venue of the event in the Oregun area of the state, injuring at least one person and throwing the gathering into disarray.

The APC-PCC did not stop at the Lagos incident. It also condemned other violent attacks at political gatherings in Edo, Cross River and Gombe states, noting that the violence was directed at party supporters and political leaders across party lines.

According to the council, the recent spate of attacks at political events in different parts of the country is a worrying development that should not be allowed to continue.

As the election season advances, the council urged political parties, politicians and their supporters to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could trigger needless crisis and public disorder.

It also appealed to candidates to focus their campaigns on issues that improve the lives of Nigerians rather than instigate violence at political events.

The council further called on security agencies to be more responsive and alert in preventing political violence of any kind. It stressed that instigators and perpetrators must be apprehended and punished in accordance with the law.
