The council described the incidents as condemnable and urged political parties, politicians and their supporters to exercise restraint during the ongoing electioneering activities.
“As we proceed with the electioneering campaign, political parties, politicians, and supporters must restrain themselves and avoid acts that could create needless crisis and public disorder,” the statement said.
It called on security agencies to strengthen efforts to prevent political violence and ensure that those responsible for instigating or carrying out attacks are apprehended and punished in accordance with the law.
The council also urged political parties and candidates to focus their campaigns on issues capable of improving the lives of Nigerians rather than actions that could provoke violence at political events.
“Our campaign strongly condemns the disruption of today’s scheduled town hall meeting of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos,” the statement added.
