The Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Jarrett Tenebe has been captured in a viral video threatening to unleash “AK-47 fire” on anyone who attempts to stop the party from delivering large number of votes for President Bola Tinubu in the January 16 election.

The Edo APC has repeatedly stated its intention to deliver 2.5 million votes to Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Governor Monday Okpebholo has also publicly spoken about the target, which has drawn criticism from opposition parties.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Edo State has called on the APC leadership to address Tenebe’s remarks, describing them as a threat of electoral violence. Edo ADC Chairman, Tony Alile, declared that no amount of threats would discourage voters from exercising their constitutional rights, insisting that the party would defend democracy through the ballot.
