Tinubu DUMPS Shettima? Nigerians In SHOCK As Tinubu’s 2027 Campaign Billboard Surfaces; SEE Who’s On The Poster
Political tensions in Nigeria are escalating as the country gears up for the 2027 elections. A recent controversy involving campaign billboards for President Bola Tinubu and his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, has ignited widespread outrage and raised numerous questions among political analysts and the general public.
These billboards, prominently displayed across the nation, feature Tinubu alongside his wife, Remi Tinubu, instead of his running mate, Vice President Kashim Shettima. This unexpected move has sparked intense speculation and debate among Nigerians, with many wondering if it is a deliberate snub of Shettima or a calculated political strategy.
Social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), have become hotbeds of discussion regarding this development. One notable reaction came from Abdul- aziz Abubakar, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Director General of Media for the ” Atiku The Light” organization.
He voiced his concern, stating, ” I don’ t know why they keep excluding Shettima from their 2027 campaign billboards; are we going to see a Tinubu/Remi ticket in 2027? ” This remark has resonated with many Nigerians, prompting further questions about Tinubu’ s campaign tactics.
Political observers have offered various interpretations of Shettima’ s exclusion from the billboards. Some believe it is a deliberate move to downplay his role in the campaign or possibly hint at a future change in the ticket.
They argue that Tinubu’ s team might be trying to appease certain political factions or gain support from specific demographics by highlighting his wife, who is also a well- known political figure.
Conversely, others see this action as a direct slight to Shettima, interpreting his omission as a sign of disrespect or a lack of confidence in his abilities. The absence of an official response from Tinubu’ s team has only fueled speculation about the motivations behind the billboards.
