The Borno State Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Sainna Buba, has threatened to flog people who refuse to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
Buba made the remark in a video circulating on Monday during the inauguration of a campaign organised by the Tinubu City Boy Movement, a political support group campaigning for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
The commissioner said those who support the APC would benefit from its government, while issuing a warning to those who decline to back the party.
“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.
