The Presidential candidate of the 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, allegedly killing two persons in the process while many people were said to have 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 and the international community to take note and reject 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.
Olawepo-Hashim, however, assured Nigerians that the People’s Trust party provides a robust alternative to the APC and other parties whose philosophy is promotional of violence and coercion, adding that the party and he as the Presidential candidate have the capacity to act responsibly as custodians of the sacred trust and mandate of Nigerians.
