**NNPP Slams APC Over Attack on Party Members in Kano** Trouble has brewed in Kano State as the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has condemned an attack on its members in Ruwan Bago ward of Rogo Local Government Area. The incident occurred during a high-profile event where a prominent politician was defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the NNPP. According to the NNPP, a group of thugs linked to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) carried out the attack, leaving 11 party members injured and two vehicles damaged. The politician's vehicle, which was involved in the defector ceremony, was also not spared. Several mobile phones were reportedly stolen in the process. The party has called for an investigation into the incident and wants the perpetrators brought to justice. In a statement released by Ibrahim Karaye, the party's publicity secretary, NNPP described the attack as unacceptable and urged security agencies to take action to prevent similar incidents in the future. Karaye also appealed to the APC and its leaders to refrain from actions that could escalate political tension in the state. He emphasized that opposition is an essential part of democracy and should not be suppressed through violence or attacks on political opponents. This development is a cause for concern in the Niger Delta and, by extension, Nigeria as a whole. The increasing use of violence and intimidation to silence opposition voices threatens the stability of our democracy. As we move closer to the 2027 general elections, such incidents may become more frequent, and it is crucial that security agencies take proactive steps to prevent them.
