Ex-APC Chairman’s Kidnapping and Nigeria’s 26% Voter Turnout: A Wake-Up Call for 2027

A video shows the former APC chairman in Kebbi State praising President Tinubu’s performance—only to be kidnapped soon after. This shocking incident underscores deeper issues in Nigeria’s democracy. In 2023, only 24 million of 93 million registered voters cast their ballots—a turnout of just 26%. Some states, like Abia, saw participation as low as 12%. By contrast, the 2024 US election recorded a 65% turnout among registered voters. Low turnout delivered Tinubu’s victory with just 8.7 million votes. If the opposition wants to challenge him in 2027, Nigerians must hold themselves accountable. Show up in force, record your voting unit and date on camera, and stay by the collation centre until results are declared.
