ADC PCC Denounces APC's Jarrett Tenebe for AK-47 Threat

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC PCC) condemned Jarrett Tenebe, the Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for threatening to deploy AK-47 rifles against anyone who denies the party the promised 2.5 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. The ADC PCC also condemned an attack on its members and the destruction of vehicles belonging to ADC supporters in Gegu, Koton Karfi Local Government Area of Kogi State.

Kola Ologbondiyan, the Director of Media and Publicity for the ADC PCC, described Tenebe's threat as inciting and terroristic, undermining the integrity of the upcoming elections. Ologbondiyan criticized the APC for failing to respond to the threat and alleged that intimidation tactics have increased since President Tinubu's statement that "all is fair in politics." The ADC PCC called for an investigation into Tenebe's threat and urged the Inspector-General of Police, the Director-General of the Department of State Services, and the Independent National Electoral Commission to take action.
