The Young Progressive Party (YPP) has condemned the Chairman of Kuje Area Council, Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo, over his alleged threat to residents planning to vote against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter of the YPP, alongside its senatorial candidate, Hon. Blessing Ufedojo Benyeogor, in a statement, said public office holders should uphold the rule of law, respect citizens’ rights, and promote peace, dialogue and democratic values.

While they observed that statements capable of intimidating citizens, political opponents or members of the public are unacceptable, they noted that any such conduct should be addressed through legal and democratic channels.
