1 min read
The Kogi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly condemned the violent attacks on its supporters and the destruction of vehicles belonging to party members at the Supreme Court premises on Friday.
This was contained in a statement on Friday signed by Kingsley Fanwo, Director, Media and Publicity, Kogi APC Campaign Council.
The attacks reportedly began when supporters of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) started hurling stones, bottles, and plastic containers at APC supporters and leaders immediately after the Supreme Court delivered its judgment affirming Governor Usman Ododo as the duly elected governor of Kogi State.

During the ruling, the Court had advised all parties and their supporters present in the courtroom to remain seated until all matters before it were fully addressed. However, the SDP candidate, Murtala Ajaka, ignored this advice and left the courtroom with his supporters as soon as the judgment was pronounced against him.
Upon noticing the jubilant APC members within the court premises, Ajaka’s supporters allegedly unleashed violence, attacking the celebrating APC members and causing significant disruption.
The APC in Kogi State has condemned these actions, describing them as undemocratic and uncivilized.
The party however thanked God for preserving the mandate of the people at the Supreme Court, promising to continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to all Kogites in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
