The article discusses a statement made by Sainna Buba, the Borno State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, who threatened to flog people who do not support the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 elections. The opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), criticized this threat, saying it could push voters away from the APC instead of gaining their support. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, the PDP's National Publicity Secretary, called the comment inappropriate for someone in a government position and warned that such aggressive behavior could lead to violence and disrupt the elections. He urged political parties to avoid violence and inflammatory language, especially in Borno State, which has a history of instability. Mohammed also asked the Borno State governor to take action against the commissioner and emphasized that the PDP aims to conduct a peaceful campaign and win the elections in 2027.
