The Chairman of Gwandu Local Government Area of Kebbi State, Alhaji Atiku Ahmad Mandiya, has told his supporters to “deal with” anyone who speaks against Governor Nasir Idris ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a video seen on Thursday showed Mandiya issuing the
directive while addressing his supporters in Hausa at a political gathering in
Kebbi State.
He also urged supporters of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, to ensure that at least one person is stationed at every polling unit to
“protect” the party’s interests during the elections.
“We should get at least one person to stand at each polling
unit that will protect our interests.
“Anybody who comes to say anything against Governor Idris
should be dealt with. I will bail the person out if arrested,” Mandiya said.
The remarks have raised concerns over possible intimidation
and violence as political parties intensify preparations and mobilisation ahead
of the 2027 elections.
Mandiya’s comments also come amid growing concerns over
inflammatory political rhetoric and the potential for violence during the
electoral process.
