The clip, widely shared on social media on 9 April 2026, depicts Tinubu at the forefront of a demonstration in which he criticized INEC for alleged corruption and failure to serve Nigerians’ interests, a reminder of past political battles.

The video’s revival coincides with large protests by leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Rauf Aregbesola, and David Mark, who marched to INEC headquarters demanding recognition of their faction and warning against perceived partisanship ahead of the 2027 elections.
While the footage is old, its circulation underscores the heightened political tensions surrounding Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
Opposition figures describe their protest as a patriotic effort to safeguard democracy and prevent the entrenchment of one-party dominance, while INEC maintains its actions are legally grounded.
Historical political footage such as this often resurfaces in volatile times, fueling public debate and shaping contemporary perceptions and narratives.
