PT Presidential Campaign Council condemns Lagos killing of APC supporters

  • Calls on Nigerians to reject politics of violence

The Presidential Campaign Council of People’s Trust (PT), has condemned the violence at the Lagos rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) where thugs of political rivals allegedly fired gunshots at one another.

Two persons were reportedly,killed in the process while many others sustained various degrees of injury in the pandemonium that ensued.

PT Presidential Campaign Council ,according to a statement issued in Abuja by the Director of Communication, Laura Oloyede ,described the incident as ominous and called on Nigerians to take note of the violent dimension that the governing party has introduced into the campaigns for the forthcoming general election.

They also,urged Nigerians to profile the conducts of parties and candidates who want to lead them before making informed decisions on whom to vote into offices.

“We call on Nigerians and the international community to reject APC’s politics of violence and desperation, which should not be encouraged in decent societies. A resort to violence is a clear indication that the APC is incapable of conducting issue-based campaigns. This is an opportunity for Nigerians to profile all of us before casting their votes in the election,” they stated.

The Campaign Council said that the show of shame at the Lagos rally had diminished the ruling party and portrays it as desperate for power.

The PT Presidential Council however, assured Nigerians that “People’s Trust, as a party, provides a robust alternative to the APC and other parties whose philosophy is promotional of violence and coercion.”

Nigerians can trust PT in its quest to promote national reconciliation and all round national development .
