2027: Enugu ADC alleges attacks and demands a level playing field

Enugu ADC governorship candidate Ocho Obodoeze urged authorities to let all parties campaign freely ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. He accused the ruling APC of suppressing the opposition and cited attacks on its supporters, including an October 10 assault on a campaign office in Enugu in which Ifeanyi Christopher Nworie reportedly suffered fatal gunshot injuries. The state government denies involvement in political attacks and says opposition parties are free to campaign and criticise Governor Peter Mbah’s administration. The ADC also congratulated Obodoeze on an award from the Nigeria Union of Journalists’ Correspondents Chapel and pledged that, if elected, he would reduce taxes and prioritise workers’ welfare.
