- Nigeria’s PDP condemned a reported threat by Borno State Commissioner Sainna Buba to flog people who do not support the APC in the 2027 elections.
- The opposition party said the remark could alienate voters from the ruling party.
Nigeria’s Peoples Democratic Party says a reported threat to flog people who refuse to support the All Progressives Congress in the 2027 elections could drive voters away from the ruling party.
The PDP condemned remarks attributed to Sainna Buba, Borno State’s commissioner for youth and sports development. The party said threats of punishment over political support could alienate voters.
The comments have drawn attention as parties look ahead to the 2027 elections. The PDP presented the reported threat as harmful to the APC’s prospects rather than an effective way to secure support.
