Olawepo-Hashim condemns killing of APC supporters at Lagos rally

Calls on Nigerians to reject politics of violence


Presidential candidate of People’s Trust (PT), Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has condemned the violence at the Lagos rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) where thugs of political rivals fired gunshots at one another, killing two persons in the process while many people sustained various degrees of injury in the pandemonium that ensued.

Olawepo-Hashim, according to a statement issued in Abuja by his Chief Press Secretary, Hassan Ibrahim, described the incident as ominous and called on Nigerians to take note of the violent dimension that the governing party has introduced into the campaigns for the forthcoming general election.

He also urged Nigerians to profile the conducts of parties and candidates who want to lead them before making informed decisions on whom to vote into offices.

“I call on Nigerians and the international community to reject APC’s politics of violence and desperation, which should not be encouraged in decent societies.

A resort to violence is a clear indication that the APC is incapable of conducting issue-based campaigns. This is an opportunity for Nigerians to profile all of us before casting their votes in the election,” he stated.
Olawepo-Hashim said that “the show of shame at the Lagos rally while Governor Akinwunmi Ambode was addressing APC supporters and crowd at the Skypower Ground, Ikeja G.R.A. diminishes the ruling party and portrays it as desperate for power.”

He, however, assured Nigerians that “People’s Trust, as a party, provides a robust alternative to the APC and other parties whose philosophy is promotional of violence and coercion,” adding that “both our party and my presidential candidature have the capacity to act responsibly as custodians of the sacred trust and mandate of Nigerians. As Nigerians can see, we have been exemplary in our conduct”

@bilms



Your post is misleading.
It wasn't APC members that fought
but members of Lagos NURTW as
confirmed by the police final report on
the violence which was a spill over
of their upcoming NURTW election
of new executives.



They shouldn't have brought the NURTW
problems to an APC Governorship declaration
rally.


The members of NLC at the national
level have also had clashes in the recent
past and even had parallel elections.


There was NO CLASH or intra-party war
among APC members in Lagos. This falsehood
and fake new is the kind of thing that non-APC
parties especially PDP want to believe because it helps them
to demonise APC.


Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim is a very brilliant man.
I heard him speak on Channels TV via livestreaming
2 days ago and I was very impressed with his
grasp of some issues when he was interviewed
by Ladi Akeredolu-Ale.


His media person shouldn't have rushed into
publishing this wrong accusation against APC
because the fight at the rally was caused by only some
NURTW Lagos chapter members.

You have your opinion, which is hughly respected.

But your opinion doesn't necessarily represent what is available in the media.

Hashim's position is in line with What was reported and you can't blame him for reacting to issues based on available information in the media
