2027: 'APC has declared war' - Nigerians react as political thugs attack Atiku's convoy in Kebbi

In Kebbi State on Thursday, a violent attack took place on the motorcade of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential campaign convoy, as reported by DAILY POST. The assailants, believed to be political thugs, used sticks and other weapons to target the vehicle. Security forces responded by firing tear gas to disperse the attackers, while some supporters of ADC confronted the hoodlums and drove them away.

This incident occurred just 24 hours after the attack on the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, in Calabar, Cross River State. The Cross River State Police Command confirmed the arrest of a suspect in connection with the assault on Obi's convoy.

Social media user Shehu Gazali Sadiq expressed his disapproval of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing the party of declaring war on Nigerian democracy. Sadiq urged opposition parties to respond to this declaration "without further delay," calling on the people of 2027 to teach APC a "serious lesson at the ballot box." Another X user suggested that the alleged attack by APC thugs was actually boosting the popularity of the opposition party, alleging that the party was working hard to make ADC more popular.
