Gov Poll: APC expresses concern over raid of party chieftains' residences, calls on security agencies to be fair to all »

The Kogi State All Progressives Congress (APC), Governorship Campaign Council has expressed worry over what it described as “needless” raid on residence of some of its chieftains.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by the spokesperson of the campaign council, Hon. Kingsley Fanwo, he said the party supports the efforts of security agencies towards ensuring a peaceful poll, but urged professionalism in the discharge of their duties.

The statement reads: “We wish to reiterate that as a Campaign Council, we welcome every effort at ensuring a peaceful poll on November 11, 2023. The election is for the electorate to determine who leads the state from January 27, 2024 and therefore shouldn’t be a reason for insecurity in the state.

“However, we express deep concerns regarding the needless raid on the residences of some of our chieftains in Kogi East. We hold the hope that they are not specifically targeted ahead of the election.

“We hereby call on security agencies to act professionally, fairly and with the patriotic intent to maintain law and order before, during and after the election.”
