Senate leader, Opeyemi Bamidele.
The leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, has warned political actors against violence ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying no Nigerian deserves to lose his or her life because of political ambitions.
Bamidele made the appeal in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Directorate of Media and Public Affairs to commemorate the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
He urged Nigerians to embrace the virtues of faith, obedience and sacrifice exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim, noting that the season should also serve as a period for national reflection and peaceful coexistence.
According to him, the country must avoid a repeat of the violence that has characterised previous election cycles.
