Describing the trend as an attack on Nigeria's democracy, the APC said:

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) has closely monitored dangerous developments in Imo State which culminated in Saturday’s brazen and gruesome attack on the residence of the State Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma.
“The party and indeed our security services will definitely not watch helplessly as some persons and interests attempt to turn Imo State into a killing field. We call on the good people of Imo state to go about their legal activities without fear and resist these enemies of the state.”

However, Akpanudoedehe, on behalf of the party, sent a message of solidarity to the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) for its efforts to neutralise bandits in the southeast generally.

The party also sent its condolences to victims of the mindless terror unleashed on them by evil fellows.
