“AK-47 F!re!” – Edo APC Chairman Tenebe Warns Anyone Who Stands In The Way Of Tinubu’s 2.5m Votes Target

• Edo State APC chairman Jarrett Tenebe has spoken about the party’s target of securing 2.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in Edo State in the 2027 presidential election, making an AK-47 f!re reference against anyone who might stand in the way of achieving the target.
• The statement has sparked mixed reactions online, with some users questioning the use of violent language in an electoral discussion and others mocking the party’s 2.5 million-vote target.

Edo State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jarrett Tenebe, has spoken about his party’s target of securing 2.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in Edo State in the 2027 presidential election.

In a remark circulating online, Tenebe referenced AK-47 f!re while speaking about anyone who might attempt to stand in the way of the party’s target.

He said: “Anybody who wants to stand in our way from getting 2.5 million votes for Mr President, Bola Tinubu……. AK-47 f!re!”

The statement has generated reactions online, particularly over the reference to firearms while discussing an electoral target.

The Edo APC has repeatedly announced its intention to deliver 2.5 million votes for Tinubu in 2027. In July, Tenebe said the party secured 2,158,600 votes in the Edo State local government election and described the result as evidence that the 2.5 million target was achievable.

The party has continued its mobilisation across the state ahead of the 2027 election.

The latest remark has also drawn criticism from some Nigerians online, with some questioning whether voters would be free to support candidates of their choice and others mocking the 2.5 million-vote target.

The comments have continued to generate debate as political activity builds ahead of the 2027 general election.
