Demola Olarewaju, a Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Thursday, said the All Progressives Congress, APC, is ready to burn down Nigeria from the North to the South.

Olarewaju, said the APC is willing to ensure that President Bola Tinubu, remains President even if he will rule over ashes.

He was reacting to an attack on members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, by thugs suspected to belong to the APC in Lagos.

The thugs, had invaded and attacked NDC members at the venue of the party’s town hall meeting.

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has warned that vote-buying and money politics, will not suppress the will of Nigerians.

The warning, was given in Ogun State on Thursday, by the PDP deputy governorship candidate for the 2027 election, Hajia Yemi Sowunmi-Kolapo.

Kolapo, said the politics of throwing money around, will only drain the spender, not buy the conscience of voters.

She spoke during a condolence visit to a bereaved supporter in Ijemo, Abeokuta, which turned into a campaign rally for the PDP ticket of Ladi Adebutu and Kolapo.
