The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has strongly condemned a recent attack on its supporters in Kaduna State, warning that the incident signals a troubling escalation of political thuggery that could jeopardize the upcoming 2027 elections. In a statement released by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC expressed deep concern over the violence that erupted during a solidarity walk supporting the party's gubernatorial candidate, Isa Ashiru, in Kaduna's capital.
Abdullahi called on security agencies to swiftly identify, arrest, and prosecute those responsible for the attack, while urging the state government to safeguard the safety of all opposition parties. The ADC emphasized that no political entity possesses a monopoly on non-state sanctioned violence and warned that embracing such tactics into the electoral process poses significant risks.
The party urged citizens and political actors not to mistake its commitment to peaceful democratic participation for weakness, asserting that this stance is a call for unity rather than submission. Abdullahi stressed that the ADC will not be intimidated and will continue to organize, campaign, and compete fairly in Kaduna State's upcoming elections, ensuring that decisions are made based on ideas rather than violence.
