Nigerian music executive Ubi Franklin has stirred conversations online after openly declaring his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Franklin made his political stance clear in a short but direct post that quickly caught attention. He emphasized that everyone has the right to support any candidate of their choice, before revealing where he stands.
“Dear friends, it’s your constitutional right to support whoever you choose. I’m supporting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for President,” he wrote.
The statement, though brief, has already sparked mixed reactions online. While some supporters praised him for being vocal and standing by his choice, others questioned the timing — especially as conversations around the 2027 elections continue to heat up across the country.
Franklin joins a growing list of public figures who have begun to publicly align themselves politically, a move that often draws both support and criticism in Nigeria’s highly opinionated social media space.
With political conversations already intensifying years ahead of the election, his declaration is yet another sign that the race for 2027 is gradually taking shape and celebrities are not staying silent this time.
