The National Patriots say the reported stoning, beating, and public humiliation of a member of the House of Representatives in Dan Sadau Constituency, Zamfara State, on April 21, 2026, in a viral video, should serve as a serious warning to Nigeria’s political class. When citizens feel ignored, deceived, or manipulated, anger can erupt in troubling ways. While violence must never be justified, leaders must also stop treating the people with dishonesty, arrogance, and empty promises.
Representation must be sincere, transparent, and accountable.
This moment is a lesson: public office is a trust, and those who betray that trust should expect public outrage and consequences.
The National Patriots strongly condemn the assault on a serving legislator in Zamfara State. While public frustration must be acknowledged, violence is never a solution.
This incident is a stark reminder that trust between leaders and citizens must be rebuilt through honesty, transparency, and accountable representation.
Elected officials must engage sincerely with their constituents, while citizens must channel grievances through lawful means. Nigeria’s democracy can only thrive where responsibility, truth, and restraint guide both leadership and followership.
