Kaduna APC Flag-Off Exposed: Rented Crowds, Guarded Posters, and Tinubu’s Evident Vulnerability By Abba Hikima, Esq. The APC's campaign flag-off in Kaduna was meant to be a thunderous showcase of strength, a banner raised high on the winds of momentum. All the APC’s who-is-who converged in the state to make sure that they manufactured first impression of a successful first outing. Yet, viral videos that swept across social media told a different story: one of scattered voices, restless crowds, and a unity that existed more in the speeches than on the ground. On camera, the cracks were very visible. Several attendees admitted without hesitation, that they had been paid ₦10,000 to show up, and many added that they had never supported the APC at all. In one of the viral videos I watched, the Kano section of the crowd raised their voices to chant, “Sai Abba” even when the MC called out “Kaduna", and “ Nigeria”. Not because they do not know what to say or how to respond, but obviously because they weren’t on the same page politically as people who brought them to the occasion. In another instance, Daily Trust reported though briefly- as the piece was later taken down- that Tinubu was booed during the event. Many other clips told the same story. Moments after the event ended, people still dressed in APC colours tore down campaign posters and set the party's trademark brooms ablaze. In another video, organizers were heard coaching participants to avoid shouting "Nigeria sai Tinubu," steering them toward a safer, hollow refrain: "APC daga sama har kasa," or "APC from top to bottom." These scenes cannot speak for every soul at the rally. But they reveal a crowd divided, and they prove that a full field of paid crowd is not the same as a full heart. High turnout is not political support and posters do not vote. Elections are won by real voters, millions of whom are bending under the weight of severe economic hardship- thanks to Tinubu maladministration. As a convener of the Tinubu Must Go (#TMG) movement, my opposition to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is no secret. Yesterday’s event must be judged for what it was. I must admit that all my adult life, I have never seen a sitting Nigerian president seeking re-election is as unpopular across the length and breadth of Nigeria as president Tinubu. By Allah, I once shared a flight with two prominent members of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Off the record, they confessed that even they would not vote for Tinubu in a free and fair election. What unfolded in Kaduna is a warning flare over the President's political vulnerability. God bless Nigeria.

@Abbahikima The number of security personnel deployed to protect those billboards, if properly armed and deployed, could tackle at least 60% of the insecurity in eastern Birnin Gwari and 90% in other parts of Kaduna. But because they have secured themselves, they have chosen to ignore us.

@Abbahikima It is disheartening to see how some of our people reason. How can anyone value billboards more than the lives of the good people of Kaduna State? And yet, some of you are busy praising and posting them on social media.
