The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Social Democratic Party (SDP) of sponsoring the vandalization of the APC campaign secretariat in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State.
Spokesman, Kogi State APC Governorship Campaign Council, Kingsley Fanwo in a statement on Thursday, said the hoodlums who carried out the crime were known supporters of SDP governorship candidate, Murtala Yakubu Ajaka.
“It is unfortunate that after realising that their ethnic jingoism is not achieving desired results for them, a handful of supporters openly associating with the SDP Governorship Candidate, Yakubu Muritala are visiting their livid frustration on our campaign offices across Kogi East.
“We want to commend the people of Kogi East for standing by the candidate which signposts the unity of our dear state and for believing in a united and prosperous state.
“In the face of the obvious provocation and violation of the civil way of playing politics, we urge our supporters in Dekina LGA to avoid the temptation of launching a reprisal as our party stands for peace. We are widely accepted across the state and only the losers are displaying cowardice.”
Fanwo, who is the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, stated that the APC has made a preliminary report to security agencies to take action.
“As a party, we remain committed to peace and will not join destroyers and ethnic jingoists in their acts. We will do what is right, just, fair and peaceful,” he added.
