On January 19, 2015, an advertorial featuring provocative texts and images was published in two national newspapers, implying that Muhammadu Buhari, who was the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress at the time, would die in office if elected. This advertisement has been linked to Ayodele Fayose, the former Governor of Ekiti State, who has faced allegations of inciting violence through such communications. The incident has raised significant concerns regarding the use of media for political intimidation and the potential implications for public safety during electoral processes. The matter continues to be a point of discussion in the context of political conduct in Nigeria.
