The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly condemned the act of thuggery against the party’s National Vice Chairman North-East, Salihu Mustapha, during the APC North-East consultative forum meeting in Gombe.
The chairman, Adamawa State chapter of APC, Alhaji Idris Shuaibu, described the incident as unacceptable and urged party members to disregard it.
“We condemned the Act of thuggery meted against our son, the National Vice Chairman, North-East, Mustapha by thugs smuggled in as delegates at the venue of the meeting,” Shuaibu said.
The party reaffirmed its support for President Bola Tinubu as the sole candidate for the party’s nomination in 2027.
“We endorsed President Bola Tinubu as a sole candidate of our party for the purpose of nomination come 2027,” Shuaibu added.
The Adamawa APC chairman called on party members to remain united and committed to the party’s progress in the state and country.
“We therefore urged all members of the party to disregard it and hold on to the position taken at the meeting,” he said.
Shuaibu emphasized that the act of thuggery was unrelated to the meeting’s purpose and outcome.
“We wish to make it also clear that the act perpetrated by the thugs at the venue has nothing to do with the said meeting,” he clarified.
