Gombe Thug Violence: APC demands apology from Sen. Goje
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State has requested that Senator Danjuma Goje tenders an apology to the party and residents of the state a violent clash by political thugs in the state.
A violent clash ensued on Friday when some thugs attempted to stop the former governor who now represents Gombe Central Senatorial District from entering the state.
But in a reaction on Saturday, the Gombe APC spokesman Moses Kyari cautioned party faithfuls to desist from politics laced with violence.
Speaking at a news conference in Gombe, Mr Kyari stated that the party remained very strong and united under the leadership of Governor Inuwa Yahaya.
“We support our party leader, Governor Yahaya’s call for politicians to play the game by the rules,’’ he stressed
He said that the party’s Executive Council had a meeting over the violence involving party members and condemned the brigandage which led to loss of lives and destruction of property.
He said the party’s executives resolved that they would not condone barbaric acts and would take measures to discipline any party member no matter how highly placed.
The spokesman added that the executives called on security agencies to carry out thorough investigation into the matter and “whoever is found culpable must be punished according to the laws of this country.’’
