Conclusion
The PDP is taking action to ensure the safety of its supporters following recent attacks in Lagos. The party is launching an awareness campaign and petitioning the SSS to investigate the attacks and bring those responsible to justice.
The PDP has also called on the government and political opponents to take steps to ensure that violence against PDP supporters does not occur in the future.
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has announced that it will file a petition to the State Security Services (SSS) over recent reports of violent attacks against its supporters in Lagos state.
The party's call comes after numerous reports of supporters of the People's Democratic Party being violently attacked by those suspected to be members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in various parts of the State. The PDP released a statement on Wednesday in which they condemned the attacks, saying they have escalated to a point where PDP supporters are too afraid to openly express their political views and convictions.
The PDP further said that the “unlawful and heartless attacks” had created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation that was not acceptable in a modern, democratic society. They demanded that the SSS take immediate action to ensure the safety and freedom of expression of PDP supporters in Lagos state.
The party noted that the attacks had caused “not only physical injuries and trauma to the victims, but also deep psychological and emotional scars”. They promised to file a formal petition to the SSS demanding that the perpetrators of the attacks be brought to justice.
The PDP also said that it would hold protests in Lagos and other parts of the country to further raise public awareness about the issue. The party hopes that the actions of the SSS will show that violence in politics will not be tolerated, and that every Nigerian citizen is entitled to their fundamental rights.
