APC Members Chased Out Of Edo Campaign Venue As Security Agencies Prevent Public Lynching Of Tinubu, Okpebholo Supporters

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were reportedly chased out of a campaign activity in Edo State as armed security personnel intervened to prevent a public lynching of supporters of Bola Tinubu and Governor Monday Okpebholo.

A video circulating online shows a chaotic outdoor scene involving a crowd and armed security personnel.

The development comes amid growing nationwide rejection of Tinubu, with political tensions mounting ahead of the 2027 presidential election and increasing signs of discontent within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The development also comes amid controversy over remarks attributed to Edo APC Chairman Jarrett Tenebe, who reportedly threatened “AK-47 fire” against anyone obstructing the party’s target of delivering 2.5 million votes for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. The remarks have attracted criticism from opposition groups, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with calls for an investigation into the statement.

Separately, tensions have been reported within the Edo APC following the disruption of a ward campaign meeting in Oredo Local Government Area, held at Garrick Memorial College along Ekenwan Road.
