Nigerian Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo has criticised the opposition’s “rig and die” slogan for the 2027 election, warning that it will give them no excuse if they lose fairly.
Keyamo said the slogan, which has been adopted by opposition parties to rally supporters, would not shield them from accountability should the electoral outcome be determined by merit rather than manipulation.
The minister’s remarks were made in a statement to the press, reflecting growing debate over the conduct of the 2027 electoral process in Nigeria.
Keyamo’s comments come as political analysts continue to scrutinise the use of “rig and die” in recent campaigns, noting that the phrase has become a focal point for discussions about electoral integrity and opposition strategy.
