Atiku aide says APC uses police to guard Tinubu billboards instead of protecting Nigerians

Demola Olarewaju, an aide to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and 2027 presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) prefers to deploy police officers to protect President Bola Tinubu’s billboards rather than use them to safeguard Nigerians.

Olarewaju made the remarks while warning that Tinubu’s approach of politics driven by power rather than policy should not be allowed to recur.

He was responding to a social‑media post alleging that the “Edo State Government allegedly deployed police officers to protect Tinubu’s campaign billboards from vandals, around Ring Road. Locals say the officers take shifts in guiding the billboards.”

Posting on X, Olarewaju wrote: “APC will rather use police officers to guard Tinubu’s campaign billboards and fortify themselves than deploy them to protect Nigerians.”

“Tinubu’s belief in politics for the sake of power and not policy is a mistake that must not be allowed to happen again in 2027.”
