"This erratic behaviour has been ongoing over time and it started with the clampdown on all APC billboards until when the party petitioned security agencies," Idris said.

Idris said, "On Wednesday, some sponsored thugs attempted to carryout such incivility on the president's billboard which also reflected the Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle and Sen. Abdulaziz Yari, both former Governors and leaders of the party, which was installed in front of the Minister's Gusau personal residence. Luckily for the quick intervention of security personnel attached to the residence to prevent such vandalism.

He added: "The party, once again wishes to register with and implore security agencies in the state to stop such vandalism and disrespect to the president. "Enough is enough, the APC as peace loving party will not fold its arms allowing some disrespectful citizens to be carrying such illegal activities in the name of politics. We will not tolerate activities of some selfish politicians to encourage political violence." (NAN)
