Aminu Tambuwal

A video circulating on social media shows Aminu Tambuwal, chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), declining to sit in a designated area marked by the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag.

The incident reportedly occurred when former APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, offered Tambuwal a seat with the party’s banner directly behind him.

In the footage, Tambuwal can be seen refusing the seat, insisting that the flag be removed before he would sit. The former governor of Sokoto State appeared firm on maintaining his party’s distinction, highlighting the sensitivities around political symbolism in Nigeria.

The brief exchange has sparked conversations online, with commentators noting it as a reflection of the current political tensions and party loyalties ahead of forthcoming elections.

No further statements from Tambuwal or the APC have been issued regarding the incident, but the video has already drawn widespread attention for its demonstration of party protocol and personal political identity.
