‎The Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, Chief Bayo Onanuga, has described the president’s supporters as “MAD” about his re-election bid in 2027.

‎Onanuga made the remark in a post on X while reacting to comments by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, who criticised Tinubu’s economic policies.

‎Speaking at a town hall meeting in Benin City, Edo State, Amaechi said only “mad people” and “thieves” would vote for Tinubu in the 2027 election.

‎Faulting the president’s economic policies, Amaechi described the removal of the fuel subsidy as “reckless”, adding that Edo residents who voted for Tinubu would be “mad”.

‎Reacting, Onanuga wrote: “Rotimi Amaechi: Yes, we, the followers and supporters of President Tinubu, are truly MAD. Read why we are.

‎“Motivated, driven by purpose and passion.

‎”Assured, confident in our vision and victory.

‎“Determined, focused, resolute, and unstoppable for President Tinubu’s re-election.
