2027: Political violence could jeopardise electoral process — ADC

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed concerns that rising incidents of political violence could jeopardize the credibility of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria. ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, highlighted the failure of authorities to adequately investigate and prosecute those responsible for attacks on opposition political activities across various states.

The ADC cited instances of alleged voter intimidation, destruction of campaign materials, and even threats of violence against opposition party supporters. These incidents, according to Abdullahi, are threatening the democratic process and the rights of Nigerians to freely support their preferred political parties.
