Edo APC Chairman Threatens Violence Over Tinubu's Votes
Jarrett Tenebe, the Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), issued a threatening statement regarding the party's electoral ambitions for the 2027 presidential election. In a viral video, Tenebe declared that anyone who attempts to hinder the APC's goal of delivering 2.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu would face severe consequences, including the metaphorical use of "AK-47 fire." He emphasized the party's commitment to mobilizing votes for Tinubu's re-election and warned that those who create obstacles would be met with violence.
Tenebe's comments included a comparison between invoking "Holy Ghost power" and using a "general-purpose machine gun," indicating a willingness to resort to extreme measures against opposition. His remarks have raised concerns about the tone and implications of political discourse as the election approaches.
