A negative post urging voters to prevent anyone in their polling unit from voting for APC in the upcoming 2027 election took a dangerous turn when a user mentioned that people will still vote, and the initial poster replied, “Anybody that vote for him will chop beating.” This kind of rhetoric promotes violence and intimidation, which goes against the very foundation of democracy—freedom of choice.

Election periods should be a time for healthy debate, where citizens can express their views and vote without fear of harm. Threatening people based on their political choices not only stifles free speech but also undermines the principles of fair and peaceful elections. It’s crucial to foster an environment where everyone can participate without the fear of violence or retaliation, as democracy thrives on diverse perspectives and respectful discourse.
