The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised an alarm over an alleged plan by supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo, to disrupt activities at the Attorney General’s Office in Abuja. Emperor Jarret Tenebe, the Edo APC Chairman, has called on security agencies, including the Police, Department of State Services (DSS), and the Nigerian Army, to be vigilant and take necessary measures to prevent the planned protest, which he described as an attempt to undermine the ongoing Edo State Governorship tribunal. Tenebe stated that the PDP and Ighodalo’s supporters intend to carry out the disruption on Tuesday, with the aim of influencing the tribunal’s proceedings. He emphasized that the APC will not tolerate any actions aimed at compromising the judicial process or disrupting public peace. “We urge the security agencies to be proactive and ensure that this unlawful act is prevented. Those behind this planned disruption must be held accountable for their actions,” Tenebe said. The development comes amid the ongoing legal battle at the Edo State Governorship tribunal, where the PDP and Ighodalo are challenging the outcome of the recent governorship election. The APC chairman also called on the international community to take note of the situation, stressing the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring a fair judicial process. Tenebe reiterated the APC’s commitment to peace and democracy, urging all parties involved to allow the tribunal to carry out its duties without interference. “We will not stand by and watch any group or individual attempt to disrupt the peace or manipulate the judicial process. The security agencies must act swiftly to prevent this planned protest,” he added. The APC chairman’s alert has heightened concerns over potential unrest in Abuja, as stakeholders await the response of security agencies to the alleged threat.
