Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of transporting supporters from different parts of Nigeria to fill a stadium during President Bola Tinubu’s campaign rally in Kaduna State.
Sowore made the allegation in a post on X, following a rally by the Tinubu campaign team in Kaduna on Saturday.
He argued that the crowd at the rally should not be interpreted as evidence of nationwide support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The @OfficialAPCNg and the Tinubu regime want Nigerians to mistake a ‘packed’ stadium for nationwide support.
“Ranchers Bees Stadium in Kaduna holds just 5,000 people; even at that, supporters were transported in from across Nigeria to fill it.
“In 2027, @officialABAT will still lose the election,” he wrote.
At the APC’s campaign flag-off, Tinubu addressed supporters and promised prosperity if re-elected in 2027.
The rally comes as political parties begin positioning themselves for the next presidential election.
DAILY POST reports that opposition figures are questioning the popularity of the ruling party and Tinubu’s handling of the economy, particularly amid concerns of hunger, poverty and the rising cost of living across Nigeria.
