ADC-PCC Accuses Tinubu of Intimidation Ahead of Elections

The Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) accused President Tinubu's administration of fostering an environment of intimidation and violence against opposition parties as the 2027 presidential election approaches. Kola Ologbondiyan, the Director of Media and Publicity for ADC-PCC, stated that such tactics would not secure Tinubu's re-election.

The council alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was manipulating the judiciary and using security agencies to suppress opposition. Ologbondiyan cited incidents of violence, including the killing of opposition members, particularly in Kaduna, Kogi, Katsina, Kebbi, and Sokoto states, describing these acts as state-sponsored terror against democracy.

The ADC-PCC also raised concerns about the preparedness and neutrality of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), claiming that APC sympathizers were positioned in sensitive roles within the commission. They warned that Nigerians would resist any attempts at electoral fraud and urged vigilance in defending democratic rights ahead of the elections.
