Tensions erupted in Kebbi State over the weekend as young protesters toppled campaign posters of President Bola Tinubu and Governor Nasir Idris. The demonstrators, primarily youths, were returning from a football match when they began chanting "bamaso" (we don't want) and began dismantling APC posters. They stormed the streets, throwing stones and smashing billboards and vehicle windscreens in strategic locations.
Despite the deployment of security forces, the protesters managed to hold their ground until authorities arrived and restored order. The APC's State Publicity Secretary, Isah Assalafi, called for a thorough investigation and prosecution of those responsible, urging all political parties to take responsibility for their supporters' actions.
Assalafi emphasized that no one, regardless of political affiliation or position, should be shielded from accountability. He urged other political parties to commit to peaceful democratic engagement and support lawful efforts to protect lives and preserve democratic participation in the state.
