Addressing party faithful, Bago urged them not to engage critics, insisting that he would personally handle those opposing the government.
The Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has sparked controversy after issuing what appeared to be a warning to critics of President Bola Tinubu's administration, declaring that those who "make noise" against the Federal Government would be "put where they belong."
The governor made the remarks during a recent public address to supporters and party members, where he also described himself as "the true son of the president" while urging members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) not to be distracted by political opponents.
In a video of the event seen by SaharaReporters, Bago suggested that some individuals who had criticised the Federal Government had been dealt with in a manner that ensured they would no longer be heard from.
"Once you make noise, we'll put you where those makers are. There are people that have made noise to the federal government. They've been kept somewhere that they will never go," the governor said.
