During a rally in Akwa Ibom State on Friday, President Bola Tinubu showcased his enthusiasm for the All Progressives Congress (APC) by dancing to the party's campaign anthem, ‘On Your Mandate.’ This event was part of the APC's efforts to galvanize support ahead of the upcoming elections, with Tinubu's performance capturing the attention of attendees and online viewers alike.
However, the rally was overshadowed by a serious incident involving a bus from the Akwa Ibom State Transport Corporation (AKTC) that was transporting APC supporters to the event. The bus crashed, resulting in several injuries among the passengers. Paul James, the Public Relations Officer for Road Safety Operations at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Akwa Ibom, confirmed the accident but noted that the exact number of casualties and the details surrounding the crash were still being investigated.S2
As the APC continues to rally support, incidents like this raise concerns about the safety of supporters during campaign events. The party is expected to address these issues as they move forward in their campaign strategy, particularly in light of the upcoming elections.S2
