Man Escapes Attack By Angry Youths After Declaring Support For Tinubu & APC In A Market Square

A young man has reportedly escaped a confrontation with a group of angry youths after publicly expressing support for President Bola Tinubu and campaigning for his re-election ahead of the 2027 general elections.

A viral video circulating on social media showed the unidentified man fleeing as a group of youths pursued him in what appeared to be a market square.

According to footage published by The Nation, the man was moving around the market with two banners bearing Tinubu’s photograph, urging traders and other members of the public to support the President’s second-term ambition.

However, his campaign reportedly attracted the attention of some youths, who were seen advancing towards him before chasing him away. The man managed to escape as the confrontation unfolded.

The video has since attracted attention on social media, with the incident raising questions about political tolerance and the ability of supporters of different candidates to express their preferences freely in public spaces.

With political activities gradually gaining momentum ahead of the 2027 elections, the incident has also drawn attention to the need for peaceful political engagement and respect for differing opinions.

The exact location of the market and the circumstances that led to the confrontation have yet to be independently established. 

It is also unclear whether the youths confronted the man specifically because of his support for Tinubu or whether other factors contributed to the incident.
