‘You’ll be flogged’: Threats against opponents cast shadow over 2027

Borno State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Sainna Buba, stated that those who do not support Tinubu's movement will be flogged, a remark he later described as figurative. Other political figures have also issued threats, such as Kuje Area Council chairman Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo, who told residents to support the APC or leave the council. These statements reflect a political culture where opposition is often met with warnings and threats.
