Crowd Chant ‘We Won’t Support You’ At Tinubu Campaign Rally In Kaduna

According to a report published by The Daily Post on Saturday, October 24, 2026, a political gathering in Kaduna State reportedly witnessed an unexpected reaction as a crowd of residents was seen chanting “BAMAYI!” while a convoy associated with President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign arrived at the rally venue.

The incident has attracted considerable attention, with the video circulating widely on social media and generating discussions about the political mood in the state.

Reports indicate that activities marking the commencement of Tinubu’s campaign for a second presidential term began in Kaduna on Saturday. The event was expected to draw supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the party intensifies preparations for the 2027 general elections.

However, the reported chanting introduced a different atmosphere to the gathering. In Hausa, “BAMAYI!” is commonly understood as an expression of refusal or rejection, meaning “we won’t support you.”

Political analyst and commentator Imran Wakili brought the incident to public attention after sharing the footage on X. The video reportedly shows a large crowd shouting the slogan as the convoy moved slowly through the busy rally grounds.

The development has since prompted conversations about the level of public support for the president and the possible political implications ahead of the next presidential election. However, the video alone does not establish the political affiliations of everyone heard chanting or indicate how widespread the sentiment may be across Kaduna State.

The North-West region remains an important battleground in Nigeria’s presidential elections because of its substantial voting population. Consequently, political parties are expected to intensify their efforts to secure support across the zone as the electoral contest approaches.
