“Our Mumu is too much in this country” – Isaac Fayose reacts to Nigerians receiving gifts from K!dnapp3rs on TikTok

• Isaac Fayose questioned whether encouraging Nigerians to get PVCs was enough, arguing that poverty could still force some voters to sell their votes.
• His comments provoked widespread reactions, with many pointing to economic hardship as a major factor influencing election decisions.

Businessman and social commentator Isaac Fayose has sparked an online debate after raising concerns about vote buying and the impact of poverty on Nigeria’s electoral process.

Speaking in a video, Fayose questioned the growing calls for Nigerians to get their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs), arguing that economic hardship could still affect how people vote.

According to him, some citizens may end up selling their votes despite efforts to encourage voter participation.

“People say, ‘Go get your PVC, go get your PVC.’ Are you sure those who collect their PVC cards won’t end up selling their votes?

“Imagine some Nigerians collecting gifts from kidnappers on TikTok. They have dragged the poverty level in Nigeria to -50. We have too much mumu in this country.”

His comments quickly sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing different perspectives on voter accountability, poverty and the country’s political future.

“PVC is not the problem. Poverty and pressure to survive is, people don’t just sell votes, they sell survival decisions. Fix the system, not just the voter.”

“They will sell it, I don’t trust most Nigerians when it comes to palliatives or handing out money. We are just a greedy nation and our leaders know how to treat us.”
