Nollywood actor cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of employing intimidation tactics to destabilise opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Naijaonpoint reports that the former National Officer of the Labour Party and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) made the allegation on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday, October 27, 2025, where he claimed that the APC was using security agencies and political thugs to disrupt opposition activities across the country.

“ADC is on fire. The only thing is that we have an APC that is using every method to intimidate and scatter the plans of the opposition,” Okonkwo said.

The former Labour Party spokesman alleged that ADC gatherings in Kaduna, Lagos, and Ekiti States had been disrupted by thugs, allegedly working under the supervision or protection of security operatives.

He described the incidents as part of a broader strategy by the ruling party to weaken and silence opposition voices ahead of the next general election.

“There have been repeated attacks on our meetings across states,” Okonkwo said.

“It is unfortunate that security agencies, who should protect all political actors equally, are being used to frustrate the opposition.”

Okonkwo faulted what he described as the manipulation of state institutions to the advantage of the APC, arguing that such practices violate the spirit of the Electoral Act, which guarantees equal protection and freedom of political association for all parties.

“The APC is using every arm of government to frustrate others. It’s against the provisions of the Electoral Act that every political party should enjoy equal protection,” he said.

Okonkwo stressed that the continued use of intimidation and suppression by the ruling party reflects desperation and fear of losing power in 2027.

Despite the alleged attacks, Okonkwo expressed optimism that the ADC would emerge victorious in the next general elections, insisting that the APC is already falling apart internally.

“ADC is going to form the next government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We are strategizing, and we are going to beat this APC,” he declared.

“They are already imploding because all these endorsements are just an amalgamation of sycophants.”

Okonkwo urged Nigerians to remain resilient and to support political parties committed to transparency, justice, and true democratic reform.
