Every Nigerian is eagerly anticipating what could be the outcome of 2027 general election,as the election gets closer;The president of Igbo Ancient Kingdom Cultural Association, Mazi Samuel Nwankwo (Oshimiri) has implored the politicians,especially ones from his state, Ebonyi state to shun “do or die” politics that normally lead to political assassinations and widespread killings.

Speaking to newsmen today in Enugu state, the president of the association called on politicians to remember that there’s life after various elections and should desist from killing each other because of political tussle “as the president of this great association, I earnestly implore politicians across the federation to maintain peace and love during the forthcoming election, especially the ones from my state,Ebonyi,we should shun tribal inclinations and viciousness, we should remember that we are brothers and shouldn’t kill ourselves because of the quest for political power, we should acknowledge the fact that election will come and go and we can’t kill everyone because of election that is seasonal”.

Political seasons in Nigeria are known to be perilous period in the country, mass killings, political assassinations,thuggery and all other vices. Great men in this country has lost their lives during this period because it’s a very sensitive and delicate period.

African politics centers around bitterness, politicians pay assassins and thugs heavily to unleash hostilities on political rivals because they see them as enemies, they pay hoodlums to disrupt and cause commotions at the rallies and conventions of rivals, which is bad and vicious.
