2027: Treat Election Riggers as Terrorists – Aisha Yesufu
  • PublishedOctober 17, 2025

A political activist, Alisha Yesufu, has thrown her weight behind the call for capital punishment for election riggers.

‎The co-founder of BringBackOurGirls campaign made this call in a post on her verified X handle on Friday.

‎Her comment comes after Governor Alex Otti of Abia State had recommended unforgivable sanctions on those championing election malpractice in the country.

‎“You see that thing that is reported that Alex Otti said ‘anybody planning to rig election should first write their will’, is the mentality Nigerians should have!

‎“I have repeatedly said anyone that rigs election should be treated as a terrorist,” Yesufu stated.
