APC people were carrying out a motorcade campaign for Tinubu traveling from Kano to Zaria. Villagers came out and followed all the vehicles throwing stones and 2by2 wooden planks.
The action damaged multiple cars in the convoy with broken windows and windshields. Video footage shows the smashed vehicles on the road with people standing around. After this incident Tinubu said he will not be going everywhere to campaign.
The event took place amid ongoing APC activities ahead of elections. Reports of the attack have spread through social media with the same video clips shared widely.
The convoy was on the Kano, Zaria expressway when the villagers reacted. Several vehicles including cars and vans had their glass shattered. No official confirmation of injuries or further details has come from party sources.
The campaign motorcade was promoting Tinubu in the northern area. Locals emerged in numbers and pursued the vehicles with the stones and planks. The video captures the aftermath with damaged fronts and sides of the cars on the reddish ground. Tinubu later indicated he would limit his personal travel for campaign stops.
The incident highlights tensions during the motorcade movement through the villages. APC members continued the journey after the attack on their vehicles. The 2by2 planks and stones were used to target the convoy as it passed. Footage from the scene shows people near the broken cars in the open area.
This occurred as part of efforts to campaign for Tinubu between the two locations. The statement from Tinubu about not going everywhere followed the reported event according to the account. Villagers acted against the APC group during their travel. Multiple cars bore the marks of the stones hitting their glass.
Several factors could help explain why some residents might react angrily to a political campaign convoy. Northern communities have faced serious security challenges, including banditry, kidnappings and attacks in some areas. At the same time, rising food prices, unemployment, poverty and the high cost of living have placed many households under severe financial pressure.
For residents who feel that their daily struggles have not been adequately addressed, a campaign motorcade supporting the president could become a target for frustration. Some voters may also feel disappointed by political promises they believe have not translated into better living conditions, improved security or economic opportunities.
The reported confrontation highlights the importance of public trust in political leadership, particularly in areas where residents face persistent hardship. It also serves as a reminder that political campaigns are not only opportunities for politicians to seek support but also moments when citizens may express their anger, disappointment and expectations.
