A large billboard promoting President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election has been spotted along the busy Area One area of the Federal Capital Territory.
The billboard, which boldly hints at Tinubu’s re-election bid, has caused discussions, among passersby commuters among others plying the road.
The billboard which has the picture of the president and his wife, Remi read, “Grassroots support for Tinubu 2027, the 1019 initiative “
This development comes even though Tinubu has not yet made any official announcement about running for a second term.
The PUNCH reports that Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, fulfilling his ambition of becoming the country’s president.
Since his emergence 16 months ago, Tinubu’s tenure has brought a mix of experiences for many Nigerians, particularly following the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the national currency.
These policies have been associated with widespread economic hardship, leading to public discontent.
The frustration culminated in the #EndBadGovernance protests which took place across the country from August 1 to 10.
Calls to the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, were not answered.
He has yet to respond to a text message sent to him on the development as of the time of filing this report.
