On Monday, August 18, 2025, a video circulated on X showing supporters of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai enthusiastically hailing him as he climbed onto a car during a political rally.
The event, marked by the presence of African Democratic Congress (ADC) branding, highlighted the intense atmosphere of Nigeria’s 2025 election campaign.
Lere Olayinka, a notable figure on X, reacted to the video with a humorous caption, “Good morning from Kolision Èsù kékeré òde,” referencing a Yoruba proverb about small troubles leading to larger ones.
Here is what he wrote on his official X
His reaction underscores the charged nature of political gatherings in Nigeria, where public figures often face both adoration and scrutiny.
The video captures a moment of disorder as El-Rufai is assisted onto the vehicle, with security personnel and supporters surrounding him. This scene reflects the broader context of Nigeria’s political landscape, where recent shifts, such as the joining of opposition leaders Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi to the ADC, have intensified campaign dynamics.
Olayinka’s response, while lighthearted, aligns with historical patterns of political engagement in Nigeria, where such events can sometimes escalate into larger issues, as documented by civil society and media reports.
The incident serves as a reminder of the passionate, yet often volatile, nature of Nigerian politics.
