Leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, on Wednesday warned political actors against inciting violence ahead of the 2027 general election, declaring that no Nigerian deserved to lose his or her life because of the desperation of politicians seeking office.
Bamidele, who raised concerns over the history of electoral violence in the country, said the nation could no longer afford a repeat of the bloodshed that had characterised previous election cycles.
The senate leader spoke in a statement by his Directorate of Media and Public Affairs to commemorate the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
