  "account": "The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has criticized opposition politicians for promoting the \"rig and die\" slogan ahead of the 2027 general elections. Keyamo argued that the slogan would leave opposition politicians with no explanation if they lose the election, as they would have to provide evidence of how many people they killed on election day to prove allegations of rigging. He sarcastically suggested that embracing the slogan would make it difficult for opposition figures to blame electoral defeats on rigging. Keyamo also mentioned that former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege, who popularized the slogan, had warned that anyone caught rigging the election in 2027 would face death, with no recourse to the courts.",
