In a live session on Arise Tv, on Sunday, June 21, 2026, Austin Aigbe has addressed claims of intimidation and violence associated with political parties in Nigeria, adding fuel to the fire of the increasing controversy and tension surrounding the country's electoral climate.

Much of what circulates during election cycles is based on allegations, according to Aigbe, who recently addressed the topic of electoral conduct and political accusations, highlighting the significance of differentiating between proved facts and unverified claims.

“Imagine the allegations of the ADC and the PDP. All of those claims may not be true. We are saying here they are allegations,” he stated.

Campaigns and post-election reviews are common places to hear allegations of electoral malpractice, violence, intimidation, and other forms of intimidation, and his comments come at a time when parties are engaging in heated political discussions.

Due process and conclusions based on data are essential, Aigbe said, warning against hasty interpretations of such assertions.

Additionally, he went over his previous remarks about the fierceness of Nigerian politics again, this time clarifying that the excessive language is more a reflection of the dedication and stress involved with electoral battles than any actual malicious purpose.

When Aigbe added, "When I mean die, I mean you are ready to go at any level," he was making it clear that his statement was symbolic and meant to convey the level of commitment among political actors.
