Despite violence and alleged illegalities across many states where Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress held its ward congresses, the party described the conduct of the election as “generally peaceful.”

Violence and alleged illegalities were recorded in several states including Bauchi, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Oyo, Abia, Imo and Rivers.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how at least one person was killed in each of Rivers and Delta states while a local government secretariat was burnt down in Bauchi State during the congress.

In other states like Enugu, Oyo and Ebonyi, party officials alleged rigging and manipulation of the process.

“The processes were totally flawed,” foreign minister Geoffrey Onyeama said of the primaries in Enugu.

The APC, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, however said the exercise was “generally peaceful.”

Mr Abdullahi commended members who served in the congress committees for their dedication and impartiality.

He admitted there were challenges in some states and called on members to be law abiding and seek redress through the appeal committees set up in their respective states where there are issues.

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to congratulate all its members for the generally peaceful conduct of the Party’s ward congresses which took place across the country over the weekend.

“We however acknowledge there are some issues arising from the conduct of the elections in some states.

“With this in view, the party had set up various appeal committees which will begin sitting from Monday, May 7, 2018.

“We therefore call on all Party members to remain law abiding and where there are issues, they should seek redress through the appeal committees in their respective states.”

Despite the protest, you people APC came out to boldly say it was peaceful.
Tufiafwa ndị ashi spits

They are saying the truth, just as Fulani herdsmen don't wield assault rifflrs(AK47)

These people can lie from all the holes in their body,the clash of titan and the killing of a man,including heavy rain that scattered their canopies, is part of the "generally peaceful" you're talking about abi?

APC,blood sucking party.

But they are right.


They have little regard for human lives which is why the President can repeatedly go partying immediately after every massacre across the country.


Have you heard comments from the president about more people being killed in Zamfara than in all middle belt put together?

Have you heard Femi Adesina saying that more people were killed under PDP than have so far been killed under APC?

Few people being killed at a ward Congress is nothing for them to worry about. They are used to the sight of blood as a party.

It's a normal tin for dem na.

Party of Hooligans,Criminals ad miscreants parading as politicians.

What do you want them to say befor？ to say it was voilently,that means they will lose their identity(lying party).
