The APC has launched a coordinated effort to counter anti-Tinubu narratives by engaging its diaspora network. The party’s strategy involves leveraging the influence of Nigerian expatriates to promote a positive image of President Bola Tinubu.
According to internal party documents, the APC has identified key diaspora communities in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada as strategic locations for this campaign. These groups are being encouraged to share content on social media and participate in public discussions that highlight Tinubu’s policies and leadership.
This initiative comes amid growing criticism of Tinubu’s administration, particularly regarding economic challenges and corruption allegations. Opposition leaders have accused the APC of using the diaspora to suppress dissent and control the narrative.
The APC’s move follows a series of protests and public debates in Nigeria, where critics argue that Tinubu’s government has failed to address inflation and unemployment. The party has not yet commented publicly on the strategy, but sources within the APC suggest it is part of a broader effort to maintain political stability.
The use of diaspora networks in political campaigns is not new, but the scale and coordination of this APC effort have drawn attention. Analysts note that the strategy could influence both domestic and international perceptions of Tinubu’s leadership.
