ADC leaders prime suspects in attack on Obi, Oyegun, says APC

AI Summary

The All Progressives Congress (APC) responded to accusations that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) was involved in a shooting incident in Edo State that targeted Peter Obi and Ifeanyi Oyegun. APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka labeled the ADC as its own "nemesis" and argued that the party’s leaders should be treated as the primary suspects, dismissing any responsibility of the APC. He cited internal conflicts within the ADC as a more plausible cause of the violence. The APC’s statement seeks to shift scrutiny onto the ADC ahead of any investigation, while the incident raises concerns about party-related security ahead of the 2027 elections.
