A billboard promoting President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 election has surfaced in Abuja, igniting public discussion. While some support the initiative, others express discontent over Tinubu's policies and the ongoing economic challenges in Nigeria.
A large billboard promoting President Bola Tinubu's potential candidacy for the 2027 presidential election has sparked conversations in Abuja's Area One. The billboard, which features Tinubu alongside his wife, Remi, reads, “Grassroots support for Tinubu 2027, the 1019 initiative.” While Tinubu has not officially announced his re-election bid, the display suggests a push for his campaign.
Public reactions have been mixed, with some users on social media expressing frustration. One user commented, “Make thunder fire the people behind this,” reflecting a sentiment of discontent linked to Tinubu's presidency. Since taking office on May 29, 2023, Tinubu's administration has faced challenges, including the removal of fuel subsidies and currency floating, which many believe have contributed to economic hardships for Nigerians. These policies led to the #EndBadGovernance protests that occurred nationwide from August 1 to 10.
Despite the criticism, some supporters remain optimistic, with comments like, “Carry go, Mr. President… I believe Tinubu will get it right.” Others remain skeptical, noting that the success of the upcoming election may not rely solely on public voting. As discussions continue, it remains to be seen how Tinubu will address the growing discontent among the populace as the 2027 elections approach.
