YPP Condemns Kuje Chairman's 'Vote APC or Leave' Threat
The Young Progressive Party (YPP) has condemned Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo, the Chairman of Kuje Area Council, for allegedly threatening residents who plan to vote against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2027 general election. In a statement, the FCT chapter of the YPP, along with its senatorial candidate, Hon. Blessing Ufedojo Benyeogor, asserted that public officials must uphold the rule of law and respect citizens' rights.
They denounced any statements that could intimidate voters and called for relevant authorities and security agencies to investigate the allegations. Shekwolo was recorded in a viral video stating, “It’s either you’re doing APC or leave the area council,” indicating a coercive stance towards residents.
The YPP urged citizens to remain calm and peaceful while the matter is addressed, reaffirming their commitment to democratic values and responsible leadership.
