The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the attack on its state secretariat by miscreants who have taken over the nationwide hunger/economic hardship protest in the state.
This was contained in a statement by the spokesperson of the party Yusuf Idris and made available to Analyzer news on Monday.
Recall that the APC on Friday, cautioned the PDP led state government against allowing PDP thugs from venting their anger on the APC and its leaders following the attack on Senator Sahabi Ya’u’s residence in Kaura Namoda and the attempt to raze the immediate past governor Matawalle’s residence in Gusau.
Idris said, the APC has also pleaded with both the state government and security agencies to ensure full protection of people’s lives and property.
He said, “As we cautioned, the hoodlums have gone haywire, forcefully broke into the APC Secretariat situated along Sokoto Bye Pass Road, Gusau, destroyed the facility including glasses, doors and carted away furniture and equipment as well building materials that were kept in the office stores.
“They also looted the mini secretariat at the back of the main office, where all the furniture, computers and refrigerators and other valuables were carted away”.
Yusuf condemned the action, calling on the security agents to do something to avert the future occurrence of this ugly trend.
“We wish to categorically state that this action is unacceptable and condemnable”.
“We are calling on the security agencies who have their personnel deployed to cover the protest with a view to ensure that it went on peacefully to immediately apprehend and bring the perpetrators of this bastardly act to book”.
He concluded that, members, supporters and well wishers of the party have continued to remain peaceful and law abiding, stressing however that, “This is not a sign of weakness”.” />
