The National Publicity Director of the ruling APC, Bala Ibrahim, did not rule out the possibility of such a billboard being sponsored by groups or loyalists of the President.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that it is not behind the billboard in Abuja promoting President Bola Tinubu to run for office in 2027.
The large billboard was spotted on Monday along the busy Area One axis of the Federal Capital Territory.
The billboard, which has the picture of the President and his wife, Oluremi read, “Grassroots support for Tinubu 2027, the 1019 initiative “
The display sign, which boldly hints at Tinubu’s potential re-election bid, sparked discussions, among passersby commuters among others plying the road.
However, the National Publicity Director of the ruling APC, Bala Ibrahim, said the party is not behind the billboard.
Speaking to Punch, Ibrahim said the party was unaware of the campaign billboard.
He, however, did not rule out the possibility of such a billboard being sponsored by groups or loyalists of the President.
He said, “At the party and personal level, I am not aware. If you have seen it, you may wish to check. It could have been done by a group or individuals.
“Usually, such banners and billboards carry the identity of the sponsors beneath. Look around to see if it carries the inscription of the party. Otherwise, it is not from us.”
