The Delta State All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council, has strongly condemned the violence that erupted during the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) political procession along Nnebisi Road, Asaba, on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
In a statement issued by the Chairman of the Media Committee, Honorable Charles Aniagwu, the Council said it is deeply saddened by reports of loss of life, injuries and destruction of property arising from the unfortunate incident.
“Our thoughts and sympathies are with the family of the deceased, those injured and everyone affected by this regrettable development. No political ambition or disagreement is worth the life of any citizen, and no political contest should ever degenerate into violence”. The statement added.
As a council, we demand an impartial investigation into the unfortunate development even as we insist that political disagreements must not degenerate to any form of intimidation, violence or destruction of property.
“It is important to reiterate that, from the very outset of our political mobilisation, particularly at the inauguration of the Delta State APC Campaign Council, our leadership made an unequivocal commitment to peaceful, responsible and issue-based campaigns. That commitment remains unwavering. Our campaign philosophy is anchored on presenting our achievements, programmes, vision and policy alternatives to the good people of Delta State, and we have no intention of deviating from that path”.
We call on the Delta State Police Command to undertake a thorough, transparent and impartial investigation into the incident, identify all individuals involved, establish the circumstances surrounding the violence and bring anyone found culpable, including any sponsors or instigators, to justice. No individual should be shielded from the consequences of criminal conduct on account of political affiliation or influence.
The Delta State APC Campaign Council remains committed to peaceful political engagement, issue-based campaigns and the protection of the peace, security and collective interests of all Deltans.
