ADC Condemns APC Chairman's Violent Election Remarks
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Edo State has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to control its state chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, following remarks he made that were interpreted as threats of election violence ahead of the 2027 general elections. During an interview on Television Continental (TVC), Tenebe stated his commitment to ensuring the Edo APC delivers 2.5 million votes to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, even suggesting he would make extreme sacrifices to achieve this goal.
He emphasized that the focus was not on whether Tinubu would win, but on the margin of victory. In response, ADC spokesperson Chris Ojeikere accused Tenebe of promoting violence, recalling that similar statements preceded an attack on the ADC secretariat.
Ojeikere urged Nigerians and security agencies to heed Tenebe's language, warning that his comments could incite further violence.
