The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has claimed that terrorism is increasingly being used as a political strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The party lamented the resurgence of insecurity, renewed terrorist activities, and coordinated attacks across the country as the 2027 polls draw closer.
In a statement signed by former Lagos APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, titled ‘Dateline 2027: When Terrorism Becomes a Political Strategy,’ the party said the pattern is becoming difficult to ignore.
“As Nigeria gradually moves towards the 2027 general elections, a troubling pattern is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
Across various parts of the country, there has been a noticeable resurgence of insecurity, renewed terrorist activity, coordinated attacks on communities, and a steady attempt to amplify fear and uncertainty within the public space,” Oladejo stated.
He added that dismissing these developments as mere coincidence would be to ignore both history and common sense, noting that Nigeria has witnessed similar scripts at critical political junctures.
“No responsible observer can overlook the timing of the recent escalation in insecurity.
While security agencies continue to record significant successes against criminal and terrorist elements, there appears to be a determined effort by certain interests to ensure that every isolated incident is magnified into evidence of national collapse,” the statement read.
The APC Scribe urged Nigerians to ask who benefits from a climate of fear and instability, emphasising that ordinary citizens farmers, traders, graduates, and families are the real victims.
