APC Campaign Launch: Opposition and Ruling Party Clash Over Tinubu’s Health and Low Turnout

Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign was launched on Saturday at Ranchers Bees Stadium in Kaduna State, but footage from the event drew criticism over his conduct and the alleged low turnout. A viral video showing First Lady Remi Tinubu placing a substance believed to be pills in his mouth prompted speculation about his health. Paul Ibe, an aide to Atiku Abubakar, and presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore called on Tinubu to abandon his bid and seek medical care. The ruling APC dismissed the opposition’s claims.
