A social media Content Creator, Kevin Black Popularly known as “Governor Amuneke” has stirred conversation online after leaking a WhatsApp message he allegedly received, proposing that he join a campaign to promote President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to the chat shared on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, the sender offered “Governor Amuneke” lucrative deals in exchange for his influence and endorsement of Tinubu’s political ambition. The message, which has since gone viral, included phrases like “join the league of dollars” — a clear reference to the financial benefits attached to the campaign.
The leak has sparked mixed reactions across social media platforms. While some Nigerians see it as evidence of how political actors attempt to sway online influencers with money, others question the authenticity of the chat and whether it was staged for publicity. Nonetheless, the revelation has added to ongoing debates about the role of digital creators in shaping political narratives and how politicians seek to harness their reach.
“Governor Amuneke,” known for his satirical skits and commentary on Nigerian politics, has not confirmed whether he accepted the offer, but his decision to make the chat public has been interpreted by many as a subtle way of exposing behind-the-scenes political strategies.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, this incident highlights the increasing intersection of social media influence and political campaigning in Nigeria, where online personalities are becoming key players in swaying public opinion.
