The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has warned Nigerians against taking up arms under the guise of protecting their votes during the 2027 general elections. He recently had his say via a press statement posted on his X handle, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Alleging that some politicians are encouraging citizens and thugs to engage in violence, Keyamo warned Nigerians to avoid falling into that trap because the same political figures are sending their own children abroad to safety.
He added that taking up dangerous weapons in the guise of protecting your votes will always be illegal anywhere across the globe.
His words, “After safely ferrying their children abroad, some unscrupulous politicians are encouraging hapless citizens and thugs to take up weapons to kill one another under the pretext of ‘protecting their votes’.
That’s fine. Let me reiterate what late President Buhari said pre-2019 election (which I supported and I still support): when you resort to self-help, and you take up dangerous weapons in the guise of ‘protecting your votes’, and you attack anybody, it is lawful and legitimate for law enforcement agents to ‘neutralise’ you or simply ‘put you down’ in the course of their duty.
And the children of the politicians will be watching your foolishness from their safe haven somewhere in the world.
Having been forewarned, you can then go ahead and exercise your options. CHIKENA.”
