The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has warned that it might not tolerate assaults on its members and supporters forward of the 2027 common elections.
The celebration’s Zonal Campaign Coordinator for the North-East and North-Central, Babachir Lawal, stated the celebration wouldn’t stay passive within the face of violence directed at its supporters.
Lawal, in a video seen by LEADERSHIP through X, stated the celebration’s dedication to peaceable political engagement shouldn’t be mistaken for an unwillingness to defend its members.
He stated the NDC wouldn’t enable its supporters to be subjected to violence just because its political leaders, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, have been dedicated to peaceable engagement.
“We will not turn the left cheek for you to slap after slapping the right one. We are not going to be docile to absorb any violence targeted at us and our supporters just because Mr Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are peace-loving gentlemen,” he stated.
The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation added that the celebration wouldn’t stay silent over assaults towards its members.
His remarks come amid rising political realignments and preparations by events and political teams forward of the 2027 elections.
