The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has raised concerns about the potential for violence during the 2027 elections. In an interview with Premium Times Nigeria, Aregbesola accused some politicians of arming thugs to disrupt the electoral process. According to Aregbesola, these politicians are planning to create chaos that could undermine the democratic process and lead to violence. The Minister’s accusations come at a time when the country is still reeling from the aftermath of the 2023 elections, which were marred by violence and allegations of vote-rigging.
