President Bola Tinubu has condemned the resurgence of political violence across the country, directing security agencies to deal firmly with perpetrators irrespective of their political affiliations.

The President said political differences and competing ambitions should not turn political opponents into enemies, urging politicians and their supporters to embrace peaceful campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Tinubu stated this in a personally signed statement titled, “Let’s Shun Violence: Our Campaigns Must Be About Issues That Promote the Welfare of Our People.”

He said political campaigns should focus on policy issues, competing ideas and programmes that would improve the welfare of Nigerians rather than violence and intimidation.

“Being in different political parties or pursuing different ambitions does not make us enemies,” the President said.

He added that Nigerians belonged to the same household and should prioritise national development despite their political differences.
