The anthem, which first gained popularity during the 2023 presidential campaign, has remained a rally staple, with supporters chanting it at every APC event across the country.
The dance moment came hours after vehicles conveying Tinubu praise singers to the stadium were involved in an accident in Uyo, an incident that had earlier raised concerns about safety of supporters travelling to the venue.
Ahead of the President’s visit, the Akwa Ibom State Police Command had banned drone operations across Uyo metropolis and announced movement restrictions on six major routes, including Airport Road, Shelter Afrique Junction, Oron Road, Nung Oku Junction, Mbierebe Junction and Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
It was gathered that the rally, which also served as a presidential rally for the APC’s 2027 re-election bid, featured performances by praise singers, cultural troupes and endorsements from Akwa Ibom APC leaders.
The President’s dance has since trended on social media, with supporters describing it as a show of energy and confidence ahead of the 2027 polls, while critics questioned the celebratory mood amid economic challenges.
