2027: ‘Probe APC now’ – ADC tells EFCC, INEC over video of ‘cash sharing at rally’

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to launch a comprehensive investigation into the alleged cash distribution at a rally by the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, ADC-PCC, Phrank Shaibu, made this call in a statement on Wednesday.

According to him, the ADC was no longer going to watch while the ruling party allegedly used cash and gifts to manufacture support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.

“Probe APC now,” the ADC said.

The party argued that no party should be allowed to use money or gifts to lure voters or damage the credibility of the election.

The call followed a short video that has been trending online which captured the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, giving out cash and wrappers to women at an event in Rivers State.

The clip showed her handing bundles of money to the women, plus a big bale of wrappers carrying the APC symbol.

It also captured her giving out cash inside envelopes printed with the faces of Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Shaibu insisted the Rivers clip did not happen in isolation, describing it as one more sign of a habit that is now hard to miss.

“When you put all these things together, the picture is clear. The ruling party now believes support can be purchased,” Shaibu said.
