Supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lafia, Nasarawa State, have staged a protest rally, calling on security agencies to investigate the incident that occurred during the party’s presidential campaign rally in the state capital and bring all those found culpable to justice.
The protesters marched to the Nasarawa State Police Command headquarters and the Department of State Services (DSS) office, demanding decisive action against individuals allegedly involved in the incident to serve as a deterrent to others.
They also called on political actors and their supporters to embrace peaceful political engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections, stressing that political differences should not be allowed to threaten the peace and unity of the state.
The demonstration attracted a large turnout of men, women, youths and other community stakeholders, who described the march as a show of political solidarity, unity and commitment to sustaining peace and development in Nasarawa State.
The protesters expressed support for the administration of Governor Abdullahi A. Sule, as well as the 2027 governorship ambition of Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu and all APC candidates.
They commended Governor Sule’s leadership, particularly his efforts towards infrastructure development, human capital advancement and the expansion of economic opportunities across the state.
The group also expressed confidence in Senator Wadada’s capacity to provide purposeful leadership, consolidate the achievements of the present administration and advance the development of Nasarawa State if elected governor in 2027.
The protesters urged APC members and supporters across the 13 local government areas of the state to remain united, mobilise peacefully and work collectively towards the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu and other party candidates in the forthcoming elections.
They further appealed to political stakeholders to respect divergent political opinions and place the collective interest of Nasarawa State above personal and partisan considerations.
According to the protesters, political competition should not degenerate into violence, hostility or division among communities, noting that peaceful coexistence remains critical to the state’s continued progress.
The demonstration underscores growing political mobilisation within the APC in Nasarawa State ahead of the 2027 general elections, with supporters reaffirming their commitment to party unity, peaceful political participation and the collective aspiration for a greater Nasarawa State.
