Kebbi LG Chairman Urges Supporters to Silence Critics
Alhaji Atiku Ahmad Mandiya, the Chairman of Gwandu Local Government Area in Kebbi State, instructed his supporters to "deal with" anyone who speaks against Governor Nasir Idris in a video shared by DAILY POST. This directive was given during a political gathering in Kebbi State, where Mandiya addressed his supporters in Hausa.
He emphasized the importance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ensuring that at least one person is stationed at every polling unit to "protect" the party's interests during the upcoming 2027 general elections. Mandiya stated, “Anybody who comes to say anything against Governor Idris should be dealt with.
I will bail the person out if arrested.” His remarks have sparked concerns regarding possible intimidation and violence as political parties ramp up preparations for the elections, amidst rising worries about inflammatory political rhetoric and the potential for electoral violence.
