APC condemns attack on Jonathan’s convoy in Katsina

The All Progressives Congress has condemned the reported stoning of the campaign convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan in Katsina State on Tuesday. The party says violence of any kind is “totally unacceptable” to the party.

In a statement in Lagos on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Jonathan should be free to campaign anywhere in the country without hinderance.

It said even though the attack on the President’s convoy took place a day after the provocative death-wish-for-Buhari newspaper advertorial that was put out in the name of the President, nothing justified the stoning of the President’s convoy anywhere in the country.

APC restated its commitment to a continuous enlightenment of its members and supporters to eschew violence before, during and after next month’s general elections, urging other parties to follow suit.

“We consider election as a celebration of democracy, not a do-or-die affair. Whether or not one agrees with the campaign message of any party, engaging in violence negates the very essence of democracy and should be condemned by all,” the party said.
