By Luminous Jannamike ABUJA – The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of orchestrating a campaign of intimidation and suppression against opposition parties to weaken them ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Council said the alleged attacks on opposition leaders, demolition of campaign offices, denial of campaign venues and harassment of party members were part of a coordinated effort to undermine political participation and democratic freedoms.
In a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, the campaign council cited attacks on its leaders and members in Kaduna, the reported assault on its Sokoto State governorship candidate, Alhaji Munir Dan Iya, by operatives of the Sokoto Marshals along Airport Road, Sokoto, and alleged attacks on other opposition figures. It also cited the reported demolition of its governorship campaign office in Kebbi State and the alleged denial of a campaign venue in Enugu State to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi. The Council further referenced reported attacks on the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, and other opposition voices, describing the incidents as evidence of growing political intolerance. “These are calculated atrocious actions skewed to scare Nigerians ahead of the general elections,” the statement said.
