Kebbi State Government issues a warning to political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections, urging them to run peaceful campaigns and avoid violence. The state says it will not tolerate political thuggery during electioneering.

According to reports, the warning is made in a statement issued in Birnin Kebbi by the governor’s Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Abdullahi Idris Zuru. Both outlets frame the message as a response to concerns about campaign-related violence, including recent incidents mentioned in coverage.

While both sources agree on the substance of the warning—peaceful campaigning and zero tolerance for thuggery—there are limited details beyond the official stance. The reports do not attribute blame to specific parties or individuals, and they do not outline concrete enforcement measures. Instead, they focus on the state’s call for calm and lawful conduct as campaigning begins toward the 2027 polls.
