‘Enough is enough,’ we won’t watch unruly citizens ‘disrespect’ Tinubu by destroying his billboards: APC
The Zamfara chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the destruction of President Bola Tinubu’s posters in Gusau, the state capital.
The Zamfara APC publicity secretary, Yusuf Idris, in a statement on Friday, stated that the activities may lead to political violence in the state.
According to him, the Zamfara APC chapter had noticed the removal and destruction of all billboards with the posters of the president throughout the state.
“This erratic behaviour has been ongoing over time, and it started with the clampdown on all APC billboards until the party petitioned security agencies,” Mr Idris said.
He said thugs were used to stir up a crisis ahead of the party’s congresses and the 2027 general elections.
Mr Idris said, “On Wednesday, some sponsored thugs attempted to carry out such incivility on the president’s billboard, which also reflected the Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle, and Sen. Abdulaziz Yari, both former governors and leaders of the party, which was installed in front of the minister’s Gusau personal residence.
“Luckily for the quick intervention of security personnel attached to the residence to prevent such vandalism. The party once again wishes to register with and implore security agencies in the state to stop such vandalism and disrespect to the president.
“Enough is enough. The APC, as a peace-loving party, will not fold its arms, allowing some disrespectful citizens to be carrying out such illegal activities in the name of politics. We will not tolerate the activities of some selfish politicians to encourage political violence.”
