Bashir Ahmad Raises Alarm On 2027 Polls, Reveals Why FCT, Kano, Rivers Election Suffered Low Turnout

Former presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad, has submitted that the ongoing Ramadan fast contributed to the low voter turnout for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) council elections and the by-elections in Rivers and Kano states.

He explained that most muslims observe reduced physical movement during fasting hours and increased focus on spiritual commitments, hence the low turnout in several polling units on Saturday, 21st February, elections.
