A video circulating on X shows a man confronting workers installing large roadside billboards promoting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The clip, reportedly filmed in May 2026, captures the man addressing the workers in Pidgin English and criticizing them for taking the job amid ongoing economic hardship.
