The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state has condemned in strong terms the terror attack on Lagosians by the thugs of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Olajide Adediran during his campaign tour of Surulere Local Government.

Lagos APC Spokesman, Hon Seye Oladejo, disclosed that the attack left in its wake several injured victims while three people reportedly died.

While describing the attack as a ploy to instil fear in the hearts of would-be voters, Oladejo, criticised Jandor for resorting to violence on innocent citizens in the name of an electioneering campaign in broad daylight.

We condemn in strong terms the unwarranted and unprovoked resort to violence on the citizens of the state in the name of an electioneering campaign. In broad daylight, Jandor’s thugs fired guns at their hapless victims who ran for dear lives.
Lagos cherishes its enviable status as the safest state in the country  – a result of the long-running and painstaking investment in security.

We view this attack as a ploy to instil fear in the hearts of would-be voters as we count down to the elections.
It’s pathetic to note that a candidate seeking to govern the state could be seen actively promoting violence to disrupt the peace of the citizens.

The PDP and its candidate have been busy in the past few days, and have been crying in the media that their posters were being torn. Unknown to me public he perfected his evil plans which manifested at his rally.
While we can imagine the untold misery and  frustration that his faltering campaign might have visited on him, it ought not to result in the thirst for the blood of potential voters.”
