Crowd Chants ‘We Won’t Support You’ as Tinubu’s Campaign Convoy Arrives in Kaduna

According to a report by Daily Post on Saturday October 24, 2026, a crowd at President Bola Tinubu’s campaign rally in Kaduna State has been captured on video chanting “BAMAYI!”, a Hausa expression meaning “we won’t support you,” as his convoy arrived at the venue.

The incident occurred on Saturday, the day Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign officially commenced in Kaduna, according to DAILY POST.

The video was shared on X by political analyst and commentator Imran Wakili, who drew attention to the chants as the presidential convoy approached the rally ground.

The footage showed the crowd chanting the expression, which conveys a refusal to offer support. However, the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the identities of those involved and the specific reasons for their reaction, were not established in the report.

The development comes as political parties and their candidates begin preparations for the 2027 general elections, with Tinubu seeking another term in office under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The Kaduna rally marks the beginning of the ruling party’s campaign activities ahead of the next presidential election, which is expected to feature competition among candidates seeking to win voters across the country.

Kaduna State holds considerable political importance because of its strategic position in Nigeria’s North-West region and its substantial voting population. The state is therefore expected to remain a key battleground as political parties work to secure support ahead of the polls.

The reaction captured in the video comes against the backdrop of the early political manoeuvring surrounding the 2027 election. However, the available report does not establish whether the chants reflected the wider mood of Kaduna residents or represented the views of only those present at the rally venue.
