The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has called for an investigation into recent attacks on opposition political members and alleged voter intimidation ahead of the 2027 general elections. ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi made the remarks at a press conference on Monday, accusing authorities of failing to investigate and prosecute perpetrators of attacks on opposition political activities across several states.
He cited incidents in Osun, Borno, Kuje, Abuja and other states, where opposition members and supporters were allegedly attacked, injured, and had their properties destroyed. Abdullahi urged the Inspector General of Police to account for the status of investigations into these incidents, stating that "Every Nigerian has the right to support a political party of their choice.
Every registered political party has the right to organise, hold meetings, and conduct its lawful activities. The government has a responsibility to protect those rights, and the police have a duty to enforce the law without regard to political affiliation."
