A pro-Tinubu group has sparked controversy after staging a counter-protest in Abuja over the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State.
In a viral video, members of the group were seen expressing support for President Bola Tinubu while accusing Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde of allegedly using the kidnapping incident to advance political ambitions.
One protester was heard saying:
“We love President Tinubu. Because you want to be President, you hid our children. Allow President Tinubu to work.”
The claim has generated widespread criticism on social media, with many Nigerians questioning the rationale behind the protest and the allegations made against the governor.
