ADC Asserts PVC's Power Over APC's Threats Ahead of 2027

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has countered threats and intimidation from the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasizing that the Permanent Voter Card (PVC) is more potent than firearms. This declaration was made during an enlarged senatorial meeting in Ewohimi, Esan South-East Local Government Area of Edo State, where the ADC unveiled its candidates for the State and National Assembly elections in Edo Central Senatorial District.

The meeting served to mobilize party structures ahead of the 2027 elections and encouraged grassroots campaigning. A significant moment was the defection of members from the APC, New Democratic Congress, and Peoples Democratic Party to the ADC.

Barrister Kenneth Imansuagbon, representing the party’s National Leader, Professor Oserhiemen Osunbor, expressed confidence in former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's presidential candidacy, criticizing the APC's governance and predicting electoral defeat for Governor Monday Okpebholo. Imansuagbon dismissed the APC's projected votes for President Bola Tinubu as misleading.
