Edo APC Chair Jarrett Tenebe Threatens Violence for Votes
Jarrett Tenebe, the Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was recorded in a viral video threatening to use “AK-47 fire” against anyone who attempts to hinder the party's efforts to secure votes for President Bola Tinubu in the January 16 election. Tenebe indicated that the APC is targeting 2.5 million votes for Tinubu's re-election and mentioned invoking a general purpose machine gun against those opposing their plans.
He expressed that anyone creating obstacles would face severe consequences, suggesting that invoking "Holy Ghost power" would be a lesser response compared to using firearms. This video has generated significant backlash on social media, with users criticizing the ruling party for allegedly planning to intimidate opposition parties during the elections.
Additionally, there have been ongoing allegations of politicians coercing residents to support the ruling party as the general elections approach.
