Angry Youths Destroy Tinubu, APC’s 2027 Campaign Billboard In Kano

Some irate youths in Kano state have been captured in a viral video pulling down and destroying a 2027 campaign billboard bearing the image of President Bola Tinubu and other All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains.

The incident reportedly occurred on a major street in the ancient city.

The video shows angry young men, mostly in their 20s, tearing down the structure with sticks and bare hands, as others cheered and filmed with mobile phones.

The billboard had the conspicuous image of President Tinubu, alongside APC leaders in Kano, with the inscription: "Fatan Alheri 2027", a Hausa phrase which loosely translates to “Best Wishes for 2027.”

This signalled early campaign posturing for Tinubu’s second-term ambition.

The video, which has gone viral on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), surfaced barely 24 hours after Tinubu’s visit to Benue State, where he paid a condolence visit over the recent massacre of residents by gunmen suspected to be herders.

The president is currently in Kaduna State at the invitation of Governor Uba Sani, where he is expected to participate in state events and meet political stakeholders.
