“Mention Tinubu’s Name at Your Own Risk” — Northern APC Stakeholder Says, Warns Party Members During Campaign Mobilisation
An All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholder in Northern Nigeria has stirred reactions after cautioning party members against mentioning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s name while mobilising supporters for a political campaign.
In a warning that has drawn attention, the party stakeholder appeared to suggest that mentioning the President’s name during the mobilisation exercise could expose party members to physical attacks.
He issued a stern caution to APC members, warning them not to blame him if they were beaten after ignoring his advice.
“If you mention Tinubu’s name and they beat you, don’t blame me, I warned you,” he said.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
Exercise your democratic right responsibly, peacefully and lawfully.
The statement has raised questions about the political atmosphere surrounding the campaign mobilisation and the reception party members may be encountering in their efforts to rally support.

Although the exact location, circumstances surrounding the warning and identity of the APC stakeholder were not immediately established, his remarks appear to reflect concerns about the potential backlash party members could face when campaigning with the President’s name.
The development comes as political activities and mobilisation efforts gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, with political parties expected to intensify their campaigns to win the support of Nigerians.
