2027: This Is Terrorism, Not Politics— ADC Blasts APC over AK-47 Threat
The council says the alleged AK-47 threat violates electoral law and urges police, the Department of State Services and the Independent National Electoral Commission to investigate.
- On Sunday, the African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council accused the All Progressives Congress of planning intimidation ahead of the 2027 elections, citing an alleged threat by Edo State APC Chairman Jarrett Tenebe.
- Tenebe allegedly threatened to deploy AK-47 rifles to secure 2.5 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, prompting ADC PCC Director of Media and Publicity Kola Ologbondiyan to describe the remarks as "inciting" and "terroristic."
- Ologbondiyan demanded the Inspector-General of Police, the Director-General of the Department of State Services , and the Independent National Electoral Commission investigate the threats. The council also condemned an attack on party supporters at Gegu in Koton Karfi Local Government Area.

- International bodies including the United Nations, European Union, African Union, ECOWAS, and the United States were asked to monitor political developments, as the ADC PCC argued voters are dissatisfied with insecurity and hardship under the APC-led administration.
