APC transported supporters from across Nigeria to fill Kaduna stadium - Sowore alleges

Presidential hopeful from the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of carting supporters from various regions of Nigeria to the maximum capacity of their stadium during President Bola Tinubu's campaign rally in Kaduna State. Sowore highlighted this in a post on social media platform X, following a rally by the Tinubu campaign team in Kaduna on Saturday.

He contended that the large crowd at the rally was not a testament to nationwide support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections. "The @OfficialAPCNg and the Tinubu regime want Nigerians to mistake a 'packed' stadium for nationwide support," Sowore wrote. He pointed out that the Ranchers Bees Stadium in Kaduna can hold only 5,000 people, and supporters were brought in from across Nigeria to fill it up.

Sowore predicted that Tinubu would still lose the election in 2027. At the APC's campaign flag-off, Tinubu addressed his supporters, assuring prosperity if re-elected in 2027. The rally comes as political parties gear up for the upcoming presidential election. Opposition figures are questioning the ruling party's popularity and Tinubu's economic management, especially amid growing concerns of hunger, poverty, and rising living costs in Nigeria.
