Campaign activities by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State have attracted attention after videos showing the party’s campaign vehicles speeding through communities amid hostile reactions from residents surfaced online.
In one of the videos, several vehicles bearing APC campaign materials were seen moving at high speed, apparently attempting to avoid confrontation with angry residents.
Despite the convoy’s speed, some residents were seen booing the campaign team, while social media users interpreted the incident as a sign of growing discontent with the ruling party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The footage has triggered humorous reactions online, with some Nigerians describing the movement as a shift from the traditional door-to-door campaign to a run-to-run exercise.
Reacting to the video, Ibrahim Gimba Suleiman wrote, “Fast and furious Nigeria drift. From ‘door-to-door’ to run-to-run.”
Naija OK Hope mocked the party, saying, “Fire on the mountain, run run run, APC is dead and buried.”
Similarly, Haruna Maiwada Mujitafa commented, “Gear 1 campaign.”
Louis Donatus Itambom expressed concern about the safety of those inside the vehicles, saying, “If one vehicle do mistake develop fault for that place, it’s over for the people inside.”
Rone Richie also questioned the campaign team’s movement, writing, “But I thought they were supposed to stop and campained for TINUBU.”
In response to Ibrahim Gimba Suleiman, Unice Cameron wrote, “He promised to hit the ground running, it just started from Katsina State, they will run tire, this is just the beginning.”
Bashir Hamza also commented, “So now APC no feel campaign,” while Tochukwu Irozuru added, “They now understand that power belongs to the people.”
The development comes as political campaign activities intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the APC stepping up its mobilisation efforts for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
The reactions generated have added to the online debate over the reception of the ruling party’s campaign activities in parts of the country.
