ADC Denounces Attack on Candidate Nnamdi Ifebi in Anambra

The leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Anambra State condemned an alleged attack on Hon. Nnamdi Ifebi, the party’s candidate for the Idemili-North/Idemili-South federal constituency in the upcoming 2027 general election, and his supporters. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening in Obosi, where armed thugs disrupted a meeting, vandalizing Ifebi's campaign vehicle and stealing personal belongings from party members.

Comrade Linus Anagboso, the ADC’s Publicity Secretary and Head of Media and Strategic Communications, described the attack as unacceptable and contrary to democratic principles. He emphasized that political competition should be based on ideas and service, not violence.

The ADC called for an impartial investigation by security agencies to identify and prosecute those responsible. SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the public relations officer of the Anambra State Police Command, confirmed the attack and noted that the traditional ruler of Obosi, Igwe Chidubem Iweka, is mediating between the conflicting political camps.
