The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged a probe into attacks on opposition members and alleged voter intimidation that could threaten the credibility of the 2027 general elections. ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, highlighted rising incidents of political violence and attacks on opposition political activities across several states at a press conference.
The incidents include threats, intimidation, destruction of property, and violence against opposition party supporters, alleged to be carried out by individuals associated with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Abdullahi pointed out that the Nigeria Police is not the APC police, but rather the police of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and has a responsibility to protect citizens' rights.
The ADC cited documented cases of attacks on political meetings, injuries, destruction of property, and the killing of a party member in various states. Abdullahi called for a public accounting of the status of investigations into these incidents and stressed that political violence against opposition members is worsening ahead of the 2027 elections.
