The Campaign Office of All Progressive Congress (APC) in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi has allegedly been vandalised by suspected thugs from opposition political parties.
Mr Kingsley Fanwo, Spokesman for the Kogi APC Governorship Campaign Council, made the allegation on Friday in a statement in Lokoja.
He said: “This is to bring to the attention of the general public and law enforcement agencies that our Campaign Office in Dekina LGA has been vandalised by hoodlums.
“We want to commend the people of Kogi East for standing by the candidate, who signposts the unity of our dear state and for believing in a united and prosperous state. ”
Fanwo, however, urged their supporters in Dekina LGA to avoid the temptation of launching a reprisal even in the face provocation and intimidatiin, saying that APC stands for peace.
He claimed that APC’s Governorship candidate, Usman Ododo, was widely accepted across the state.
He said that the Legal Directorate of the party was compiling a comprehensive report, after preliminary report had been lodged.
When contacted, SDP State Secretary, Dr Arome Okeme, denied the allegation and described it as the very architect of APC trying to drag his party (SDP) in the mud.
Okeme said SDP and its supporters remained peaceful with full hope of victory at the Nov. 11 Governorship Election in the state.
