The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of using intimidation to suppress its growing influence nationwide.
In a post on his X handle on Sunday, September 7, ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, alleged that the APC had resorted to harassment after witnessing the party’s rising popularity.
“APC is really scared of the growing popularity of the ADC across the country, and it appears that the only response that they have is physical assaults and intimidation,” Abdullahi wrote.
He condemned what he described as an invasion of a church in Alimosho, Lagos, where an ADC event was being held on Saturday.

“Yesterday’s invasion of a Church, the venue of an ADC event in Alimosho, Lagos State, is a new low — showing that the APC respects nothing and holds nothing sacred, not even a Church,” he stated.
Abdullahi further accused the ruling party of manipulating state institutions to serve partisan interests, particularly the security agencies.
“Under the APC, the Nigerian Police Force is being turned to the Gestapo wing of the ruling party,” he added.
Neither the APC nor the police had responded to the allegations at the time of filing this report.
