The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to investigate the alleged distribution of cash and gifts at a rally organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The party’s Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC), Phrank Shaibu, made the call in a statement on Wednesday.

Shaibu accused the ruling party of allegedly using money and gifts to manufacture support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election, warning that the ADC would no longer remain silent over such practices.

“Probe APC now,” the ADC said.

The party maintained that no political organisation should be allowed to use financial inducements to influence voters or undermine the credibility of elections.

The call followed the circulation of a video showing the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, distributing cash and wrappers to women at an event in Rivers State.

The footage showed the minister handing bundles of money to the women alongside a large bale of wrappers bearing the APC symbol.

She was also seen distributing cash in envelopes printed with the faces of Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Reacting to the video, Shaibu said the incident was not isolated but reflected what he described as an increasingly evident pattern by the ruling party.

“When you put all these things together, the picture is clear. The ruling party now believes support can be purchased,” Shaibu said.
