In a statement by the Media Director of the APC Campaign Council, Kassim Afegbua, the party expressed gratitude to security operatives for restoring order during the attacks.

Afegbua claimed that the PDP promoted a false narrative, contrary to what transpired during the incidents.
“The rate at which propaganda has engulfed the PDP in Edo State during this campaign season is quite alarming.”
“They brought in some hackers, spinners, hirelings, and cloners to twist narratives to suit their inflated egos, attempting, with exaggerated fanfare, to confuse Edo voters.”Afegbua said.

Afegbua stated that the APC has restrained its members from engaging in any form of violence during and after this election season. “We have resisted this option because we love the people of Edo, regardless of their political affiliations.
However, if this trajectory of violence continues, we may be forced to confront those who think violence and gangsterism are their methods of operation.”
He warned the PDP to instruct Governor Obaseki’s supporters to desist from further acts of violence, stating that the APC’s retaliation, should they resort to self-defense, would be uncontrollable.
