The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused suspected supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of vandalising its campaign posters in parts of Delta State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to the party, the incident occurred in Irri, Isoko South Local Government Area, where a man identified by the NDC as “Gadaffi” was allegedly caught on camera pulling down posters of the party’s presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The NDC further alleged that the suspect, alongside others, had been moving around communities within the local government area removing campaign posters belonging to opposition parties.
Reacting to the incident, the Secretary of the NDC in Isoko South Local Government Area, Bako Clement Oyibo, condemned the alleged destruction of campaign materials, describing the act as undemocratic and capable of increasing political tension ahead of the elections.
Oyibo called on political parties and their supporters to embrace peaceful campaigns and respect democratic values, warning against actions that could overheat the political atmosphere.
Meanwhile, officials of the Isoko South Local Government Council have maintained that the removal of certain billboards, signposts and campaign posters in the area is part of an ongoing enforcement exercise against unauthorised public displays.
A council official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said individuals, religious organisations and political groups are required to obtain approval before erecting billboards or displaying campaign posters in public places.
The official added that the council would continue enforcing existing regulations and could prosecute individuals or groups that violate the law governing outdoor advertisements.
As of the time of filing this report, the All Progressives Congress (APC) had not issued an official response to the allegations made by the NDC.
SUNTV Global Channel will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as more information becomes available.
