Government officials say President Tinubu wants nothing to do with those billboards popping up about the 2027 election. His team spotted these signs around Abuja and Kano showing Tinubu, Vice President Shettima, or First Lady Oluremi. Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga asked whoever put them up to take them down fast.

The official statement makes clear that these early campaign efforts break election rules. Nigerian law forbids campaigns until the electoral commission announces the official schedule. Officials worry these billboards might create unfair advantages or harm the election process. Tinubu never permitted anyone to start advertising his possible second term.

The president is grateful for enthusiastic supporters but wants them to respect legal timelines. His administration currently focuses on fixing the economy, helping people, rebuilding infrastructure, and improving security. They want everyone to talk about these current projects instead of future elections. The president will tell people about his plans when the proper time comes after INEC opens the campaign season.
