President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is once again at the center of online discussions as a video clip showing his massive convoy arriving in Lagos for the Eid al-Kabir (Sallah) celebration goes viral.
The footage, which surfaced this morning, May 28th, 2025, has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing mixed feelings over the scale and grandeur of the presidential convoy — especially amid ongoing economic struggles in the country.
This comes shortly after the crescent moon was sighted in Saudi Arabia, marking the beginning of Dhul Hijjah — the final month of the Islamic calendar. As a result, Eid-el-Kabir will be celebrated on June 6th, 2025, and preparations are already underway across the Muslim world.
Many users are comparing today’s video to another clip from February 28th, 2024, where President Tinubu’s convoy caused major traffic congestion, leaving the opposite lane at a complete standstill. That earlier footage had already drawn heavy criticism and raised questions about priorities in governance.
Now, the latest convoy sighting has reignited the conversation, with some netizens praising the display of authority, while others see it as tone-deaf and excessive, particularly in light of the hardships many Nigerians are currently facing.
As usual, the topic continues to trend, with the convoy video quickly climbing into the top discussions across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
