A Nigerian man in Cross River State has gone viral after tearing campaign clothes bearing President Bola Tinubu’s image, which his wife reportedly brought home.

The man, whose identity was not immediately known, vented his frustration over the campaign materials, questioning why anyone would back Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In the viral video, he said he was minding his business when his wife came home with the campaign clothes, adding that he was displeased with her decision.

“I just dey my own jejely. My wife carried this campaign cloth come, which I’m very, very upset about right now, and I want to tear it. I want to burn it to ashes. Make Nigerians bear me witness,” he said.

The man slammed the APC-led government, accusing it of failing to tackle the economic hardship facing Nigerians.

He raised concerns over the price of fuel, the minimum wage, and the government’s handling of insecurity.

“Same APC that have brought Nigeria to this present predicament. How much is a litre of fuel? How much is minimum wage? Same government that cannot provide simple things like security to the citizens,” he said.

He also lamented the large number of security escorts assigned to Tinubu and members of his cabinet, arguing that ordinary Nigerians were left to deal with insecurity on their own.

According to him, travelling by road had become difficult due to security fears and the rising cost of transportation.

“To travel from Calabar to Lagos, if you no hold like ₦40,000 to ₦50,000, you cannot travel with the level of insecurity again. Wetin we do una for this country, Tinubu?” he asked.

He further warned those planning to vote for Tinubu in the next election, saying: “If your intention na to vote for Tinubu for the next coming election, it shall never be well with you.”

The man also took a swipe at Cross River State Governor, Bassey Otu, daring him to point to any concrete achievements of his administration since taking office.

He said, “Now, for Governor Prince Otu, tell Nigerians one tangible thing you’ve been able to execute since you became the Governor of Cross River State.”

He also decried the state of the environment, alleging that some drainages were filthy and accusing the state government of only cleaning up during the December festive season.

As he tore the campaign materials, the man repeatedly chanted, “It will go down, it will go down, it will go down.”

He described the act as a reflection of what he termed the country’s poverty, stagnation, lamentation and suffering.

He concluded by describing the situation as “our poverty, our lamentation, stagnation, our cry, Nigerian tears, God forbid bad thing.”
