Kebbi State chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Yahaya, widely known as Adam Fakai, has declared he will no longer support President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general Elections, citing what he described as a sustained lack of recognition from party leadership.
In a statement, Fakai said he would cease promoting the activities and programmes of the Tinubu administration after more than two years of documenting federal projects and policies across the country. He said he had invested personal resources, time and energy in the effort because he believed in the president’s leadership and development agenda, but received no encouragement or support from APC leaders at either the state or federal level.
Fakai alleged that prominent political figures had used photographs and videos he produced of federal government projects without acknowledging or contacting him. He said the perceived absence of appreciation informed his decision to discontinue his promotional work, adding that he believed he might have received greater support if he were from another state.
Despite the withdrawal, Fakai expressed gratitude to individuals who had supported and encouraged him during the period. He gained prominence on social media for travelling to major federal project sites nationwide and publishing photographs, videos and reports highlighting the administration’s infrastructure and development initiatives.
The development underscores growing friction within the ruling party’s grassroots network, where content creators and local mobilisers have increasingly voiced frustration over what they describe as marginalisation by the political establishment. Analysts say such public disengagements could signal wider disaffection among volunteers who powered the party’s digital outreach during the 2023 election cycle.
Neither the presidency nor the APC national secretariat has issued a formal response to Fakai’s announcement. Party officials in Kebbi State declined to comment on the record. The situation remains fluid as the 2027 electoral calendar approaches, with stakeholders watching for further realignments within the party’s support base.
