Lagos State chapter of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed regret over the violence that broke
out at its campaign flag-off.
It assured Lagosians that such
display of crude force would not repeat itself in the cause of the campaigns.
The party in a statement issued
last night by its Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, blamed the unfortunate
incident on a disagreement between two factions of National Union of Road
Transport Workers, NURTW, which they carried into the campaign grounds of the
party.
Recall that a staunch supporter
of the APC and factional leader of the NURTW in Oshodi area of Lagos, Musiliu
Akinsanya popularly called MC Oluomo was stabbed in the neck and is currently
receiving treatment.
However, Igbokwe insisted that
the APC and its supporters had no hand in the violence.
The statement read: “History was
again recorded in Ikeja today (yesterday) as Lagos APC opens its 2019 general
election campaigns that clearly and eloquently sent signals out there that the
owner of the house is still at home. The organisation, the crowd, the colours,
the joy and fun added beauty and class to the carnival which was unprecedented
in the history of Lagos politics.
“We only have our teeming
supporters and the leadership of the party in the state to thank for displaying
absolute trust, loyalty, commitment and affection for the party they have
cherished for years and still continue to cherish till date.”
