LP finds this trend quite unacceptable and condemn the growing terrorism of APC in virtually some APC controlled State in the Nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce again, LP has to re- emphasis the fact that no one political party has a monopoly of crude and organized violence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is an irony that a sitting Governor who has earlier so pompously claimed that Peter Obi is not known beyond the South East has been caught up by retributive justice to be frustrated into violence by the share strong, heavy and frightening huge crowd of loyal willing supporters of Peter right in the center of his self \u2013 deluded political safe \u2013 zone .<\/p>\n<p>\u201d One simply hopes that the security agencies will not continue to appear helpless as this chain of planned and choreographed violence are visited relentlessly on the LP Presidential support groups all over the States under APC in the Country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But in a swift reaction, All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftain, Garus Gololo, warned Obi supporters \u201cto be cautious in choosing locations for their rallies.<\/p>\n<p>Katsina State is already struggling with insecurity issues. So, it\u2019s a wise move by the state government to stop the rally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also advised, \u201cLP should be patient. The elections are only a few months away. Then the true mandate of the people will showcase itself.<\/p>\n<p>Do you see Atiku or Tinubu organizing rallies? These men know what politics is all about and they\u2019re waiting for the right time to do the needful instead of making much noise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The APC Chieftain further dismissed LP Supporters as \u201cnoise makers most of whom have no Permanent Voter Cards (PVC).\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National leadership of the Labour Party, LP, has condemned the alleged disruption of rally organized by supporters of its Presidential candidate, Peter Obi in Katsina State on Monday.
