Bauchi held its bye-elections today, and Senator Shehu Buba Umar has cautioned political parties and their supporters against inflammatory statements, intimidation, and violence. The Senator, a Peoples Redemption Party candidate for governor in 2027, made this appeal during campaign rallies in Disina and Sakwa constituencies. He urged politicians to focus their campaigns on issues that impact people rather than resorting to personal attacks or inflammatory rhetoric.
"Political competition should be about ideas, policies, leadership qualities and service to the people, not personal attacks or inflammatory rhetoric," the Senator emphasized. Concerned about the language used by some political actors, Shehu Buba reminded leaders to be mindful of the influence their words might have on young people.
He asked politicians to disagree without creating tension or encouraging supporters to engage in violence. During his visits to Disina and Sakwa, Shehu Buba was accompanied by former House of Representatives member Abubakar Kani Faggo and PRP candidate for Shira State Constituency, Mohammed Samaila Isah. The Senator also implored traditional rulers to assist in promoting peaceful participation in the election, especially among youths.
"Our youths must reject thuggery, violence and intimidation. They should be encouraged to participate in the democratic process peacefully," Shehu Buba urged.
