Borno State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Sainna Buba, has threatened that people who refuse to support the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election will be flogged.
Buba made the statement in a video circulating on social media on Monday during the inauguration of a campaign organised by the Tinubu City Boy Movement, a political support group backing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid.
The commissioner said those who support the APC would benefit from the government, while warning those who choose not to support the party of consequences.
“As for some people who do not deserve us to call their names. In politics, sometimes things go smoothly, sometimes it goes with persuasion, and sometimes it goes with force. Right now, we are being persuasive, but we’ve noticed they are throwing jabs at us on TikTok. Well, it is not as if we are inefficient at blowing the whistle on politics.
“If they point fingers at us, we will point fingers at them; if they point fingers at us with malicious intent, then we will hold that finger and break it. This government is our government; follow us and enjoy honey. As for those who refuse to follow us, they will be flogged.
“We should all be aware that they will bring campaign materials for the state for us all to benefit,” he said.
Buba’s comments came days after a similar warning by the chairman of Kuje Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory, Samuel Shekwolo, who told residents who do not support the APC to leave the council ahead of the 2027 election.
Shekwolo made the remarks in a video that surfaced on social media while addressing his followers and constituents.
The council chairman linked his position to what he described as developmental interventions by Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, in Kuje.
According to him, residents should not benefit from the administration’s projects and interventions and then vote against the APC in the 2027 elections.
