The All Progressive Congress (APC) Zhas said the shooting incident within the venue of the Governorship Election Tribunal in Benin City, Edo State capital, involving members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a "deeply disturbing and unacceptable act of violence".
The party said the Tribunal is a sacred space where justice is meant to be administered impartially. "Any act of violence within its walls undermines the very foundation of our legal system and threatens the safety of all involved".
According to the APC in a statement on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 by it's Edo State Chapter Chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, "regardless of political affiliation, resorting to violence to resolve disputes, is never justifiable. We must all condemn such actions in the strongest possible terms.
"Violence has no place in a civilized society, and those responsible for this heinous act must be brought to justice swiftly and without exception". NNL.
