The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Chairman, Sego, has reportedly issued a stern warning to Nigerians who intend to vote against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.
According to a recent media report, Sego described the upcoming election period as a “war” and vowed to punish voters who oppose the APC.
The comments were made during a public appearance, though specific details about the event were not disclosed.
The reported statements have sparked reactions on social media, with critics condemning the remarks as intimidation and a threat to democratic processes. Supporters argue that the chairman was merely expressing political loyalty.
There has been no official response from the NURTW national secretariat, the APC, or the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the comments as of this report.
The NURTW is a significant labor union in Nigeria’s transport sector and has a history of political involvement.
