A woman has sparked controversy on social media after a video allegedly showing her destroying a campaign banner bearing the image of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Cross River State surfaced online.
The woman was reportedly angered after seeing the President’s face on the banner, prompting reactions from Nigerians who expressed differing opinions about her actions.
While some social media users appeared to support the woman’s display of anger, others condemned the act, arguing that destroying campaign materials would not change the political situation.
One commenter wrote: “I do not encourage or support this act, and this won’t change anything except you go to the poll and vote them out.”
Another user reacted by suggesting that Nigerians were increasingly expressing their frustration, writing: “Omor, seems like everyone in Nigeria is waking up from their wrong side of the bed.”
However, another commenter called on citizens to oppose the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), making strong accusations against the party and urging people to resist its campaign activities.
A different user took a contrasting position, suggesting that supporters of Peter Obi might react differently if a similar incident involved his campaign materials. The commenter also predicted that Tinubu would win the next election, regardless of whether his banners were destroyed.
The reactions highlight the divisions among Nigerians over the President, the APC and the country’s political direction ahead of the 2027 general elections.
While the incident has generated debate online, the circumstances surrounding the woman’s actions and the exact location of the incident have not been independently verified.
