The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly condemned the sporadic shooting incident involving members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the Governorship Election Tribunal venue in Benin City. The incident, which occurred today, has been described as a deeply disturbing and unacceptable act of violence. In a statement, Edo State APC Chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, emphasized that the Tribunal is a sacred space where justice is meant to be administered impartially. “Any act of violence within its walls undermines the very foundation of our legal system and threatens the safety of all involved,” Tenebe said. Emperor Jarret Tenebe further stated that resorting to violence to resolve disputes is never justifiable, regardless of political affiliation. “We must all condemn such actions in the strongest possible terms,” he added. Tenebe stressed that violence has no place in a civilized society, and those responsible for this heinous act must be brought to justice swiftly and without exception. The APC chairman’s statement comes amidst rising tensions in Edo State, with the PDP and APC trading blame over recent violent incidents.
