Political tension is reportedly rising in Kebbi State as supporters of the African Democratic Congress express opposition to President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, with demonstrations, protest chants and reports of damaged political property emerging from parts of the state.
At an ADC gathering in Argungu, supporters reportedly voiced the slogan “Bola Must Go!” while expressing confidence ahead of the next presidential election. The message reflects growing political opposition as economic hardship and the rising cost of living remain major concerns for many Nigerians.
In another developing report, billboards and banners featuring President Tinubu and the APC were reportedly pulled down in Sakaba Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
There are also allegations that an APC office in Kebbi State was vandalised during a demonstration where protesters reportedly chanted “Ba Ma So! Tinubu Must Go!”
Economic hardship appears to be a major theme behind the reported demonstrations, with protesters reportedly demanding the return of fuel subsidies amid rising prices and pressure on household budgets.
The reported call for “We Want Our Subsidy Back!” highlights public frustration over the cost of transportation, food and other basic necessities. For struggling households, the affordability of everyday goods and services remains a key issue in the political debate.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has also been linked to calls for making Nigeria affordable again, a message that places the cost of living at the centre of the opposition’s political appeal.
The developments in Kebbi could signal a growing contest for political support as parties seek to win over voters ahead of the presidential election. However, the scale of the reported protests, the identities of those involved in the alleged vandalism and the precise circumstances surrounding the removal of political banners remain unverified.
For now, the reported events point to mounting political discontent in parts of Kebbi State, where demands for economic relief appear to be mixing with calls for political change.
