(SINL NIGERIA) The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has condemned Friday’s attack on one of its chieftains, Hon. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi when he attended the wedding fatiha of Alhaji Siddi Daki Takwas’ children which was held at Rabi’a Jum’at Mosque in Gusau, the state capital.
According to a statement by the State’s party’s spokesman, Mallam Yusuf Idris Gusau, the party noticed with shock how the horrific incident happened as some youths were joined by some irate youth to display such bad manner.
It would be recalled that Shinkafi recently urged the federal government to intensify security along Shinkafi axis of the state, following renewed threat by Bello Turji in a video released by the terrorist.
Gusau described the action as unusual of APC supporters who he described as “well behaved party members”.
He said, “This is uncommon of our otherwise well behaved party youngsters, who may have had some grievances against any member and forgot that the APC has well coordinated channels of addressing all forms of grievances which should have been taken by the APC youth”.
According to Gusau, the party would do all it could to protect its members from embarrassment.
“As a responsible political party, therefore, we want to reassure all our loyal members, big or small, especially the leaders that we shall always do whatever necessary to protect them”
He warned the APC youths to refrain from taking law into their hand and lodge their complaints to the party for necessary action, stressing that, the party would take stringent measures against those who violated the order.
“The youth are therefore urged to henceforth refrain from such acts and to present their grudges against any member through the right channel”.
“The party will take all necessary steps to ensure that the perpetrators of such high level of indiscipline are arrested and prosecuted according to the law”.
