A woman identifying herself as a military wife has sparked debate online after declaring that military wives would not support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election over concerns about soldiers’ welfare and pay.

In a video circulating on social media, the woman argued that although serving military personnel are restricted by law from engaging in partisan politics, their spouses are civilians with full voting rights. She claimed military wives across the country would use their votes to express dissatisfaction with the current administration.

The woman said, “We are coming out in full force 2027. Military wives we no dey vote Tinubu and nothing go happen.”

She further alleged that the government’s promises had not translated into reality for military families.
