The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council has reeled out what it described as the sins of President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration against opposition parties, accusing the government of orchestrating attacks on opposition leaders, demolishing party facilities, denying rivals campaign venues, intimidating political figures and using financial inducements to weaken opposition ranks ahead of the 2027 general elections.\n<\/p>\n

In a statement on Sunday signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, its Director of Media and Publicity, the ADC-PCC said the incidents went beyond conventional political rivalry, describing them as a state-sponsored assault on freedom of association and the constitutional right of Nigerians to participate in politics.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are calculated atrocious actions skewed to scare Nigerians ahead of the general elections,\u201d the council declared.\n<\/p>\n

Ologbondiyan cited reported attacks on ADC leaders and members in Kaduna, the alleged assault on Alhaji Munir Dan Iya, the party\u2019s Sokoto governorship candidate, by operatives of the Sokoto Marshals along Airport Road, Sokoto, and the reported demolition of the party\u2019s governorship campaign office in Kebbi State.\n<\/p>\n

The council also accused authorities of denying Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, access to a campaign venue in Enugu State.<\/p>\n

It further referenced reported attacks on Omoyele Sowore,
the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, and other opposition figures, arguing that the incidents pointed to growing political intolerance.\n<\/p>\n

The ADC-PCC warned that the alleged actions would neither weaken the opposition nor extinguish Nigerians\u2019 democratic aspirations, recalling the resistance that frustrated former President Olusegun Obasanjo\u2019s third-term agenda.\n<\/p>\n

It accused the APC of attempting to deny other political parties the same democratic freedoms it enjoyed while in opposition, insisting that political participation and freedom of association must be guaranteed irrespective of party affiliation.<\/p>\n

The council also raised concerns over the continued detention of Nasir El-Rufai,
its National Vice Chairman and former Kaduna State governor, alleging that he was being unlawfully detained and denied bail.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is watching, and the burden of this illegality rests squarely on those responsible,\u201d the campaign council said.\n<\/p>\n

On alleged attempts to weaken opposition ranks through financial inducements, the council accused the ruling party of offering money and material benefits to compromise political actors.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Tinubu is at liberty to corruptly buy a few consciences with money and material inducements. Millions of Naira are being offered to weak individuals to mortgage their rights, but not all Nigerians are for sale,\u201d it declared.\n<\/p>\n
