The All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that “the rented crowd” at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rally in Kaduna State should be held responsible for the disruption.
APC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, distanced itself from the unfortunate incident.
Underlining the need by all parties and candidates to subscribe to issue-based campaigns and observe applicable ethical standards and best practices, the party said it behoves all stakeholders to ensure a peaceful electioneering ahead of the 2023 general election. “Every party is entitled to conduct its legitimate activities in peace and under security. Every party has a right to equal protection under the law. Perpetrators of disruptive and other acts of violence must be brought to justice.”
APC added: “To be clear, the APC has no hand in the attack as irresponsibly alleged by the PDP. We have no reason to be perturbed by the rally. As Africa’s largest political party, bolstered by the remarkable accomplishments of President Muhammadu Buhari, with a vibrant future led by our visionary presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, we cannot, in any way, be unnerved by any political party or presidential candidate. Certainly, not by the PDP, a party in tatters and at war with itself.
