The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has dismissed a viral video showing a man destroying posters supporting President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima as a carefully orchestrated propaganda stunt. Keyamo claimed the act was sponsored by opposition elements to portray the President as losing public support ahead of the 2027 general election.
He alleged similar incidents had been staged in other parts of the country to manipulate public narrative and suggested these were being presented as evidence of Tinubu's rejection by Nigerians. Keyamo also criticized the media and social media reaction to such incidents involving opposition campaign posters, noting that these were being described as acts of intimidation and threats to democracy.
He stressed it was not an endorsement for APC supporters to retaliate but hoped his remarks would prompt introspection from all citizens of goodwill.
