The Nigerian Senate has strongly condemned the rising cases of political violence, attacks, and disruptions of political activities across the country as the nation prepares for the 2027 general elections.
In a statement, the upper chamber criticised acts of intimidation, assault, and destruction of property linked to political rallies, meetings, processions, and other legitimate political activities, regardless of the parties or individuals involved.
The Senate called on security agencies to urgently arrest those responsible for such attacks to serve as a deterrent. It also urged all political parties, candidates, and their supporters to reject inflammatory language, discourage violence, and work with security forces to maintain public peace.
Senator Yemi Adaramodu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, said the National Assembly fully supports President Bola Tinubu’s call for peace and national harmony. He stressed that the Senate totally condemns any form of political violence and expects security agencies to apprehend the perpetrators without delay.
