Members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ekiti North Senatorial District have condemned the alleged vandalisation of the campaign office of the party’s senatorial candidate, Prince Dr. Funso Ayeni, in Ido-Ekiti.

The campaign office, which was recently commissioned, was reportedly vandalised by suspected hoodlums, prompting calls from party members for a thorough investigation by security agencies.

In a statement, the ADC members described the incident as unacceptable and urged the relevant authorities to identify those responsible and ensure that anyone found culpable faces the law.

They stressed that political differences should not degenerate into violence, intimidation or destruction of property, urging political actors to embrace peaceful engagement ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to the party members, political competition should be based on ideas, programmes and the ability of candidates to serve the people, rather than acts of violence or intimidation.

They also appealed to supporters of all political parties in Ekiti North to conduct their political activities within the bounds of the law and respect the rights of other political groups.

The ADC members reaffirmed their support for Ayeni’s senatorial ambition, insisting that the alleged incident would not deter them from participating in legitimate political activities across the five local government areas that make up the senatorial district.

They further called on political parties, candidates, traditional rulers and community leaders to promote peaceful political engagement and ensure that political disputes are resolved through lawful democratic processes.
