BREAKING: APC, ADC, NDC to switch to Virtual Campaign due to Ebola “Outbreak”

Nigeria’s political parties may face a new challenge ahead of the 2027 general election as concerns over a reported Ebola outbreak raise questions about the safety of large political gatherings and campaign rallies.

The All Progressives Congress (APC), African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) are at the centre of the discussion over whether political campaigns should move online if public health authorities advise restrictions on mass gatherings.

A shift to virtual campaigns could significantly change how political parties reach voters, organise rallies, mobilise supporters and communicate their manifestos ahead of the election. However, any decision would need to be guided by verified public health information and official announcements from the parties concerned.

The situation also raises important questions about election preparedness, public safety and the ability of political parties to adapt to unexpected challenges during the campaign period.

Will APC, ADC and NDC take their campaigns online, or will physical rallies continue? And what measures should be put in place to protect Nigerians while preserving democratic participation?
