Nigeria’s Presidential Hopeful Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso Drops Solana Memecoin $PRESIDENT – Political Gambit or Crypto Stunt?

Solana''s blockchain just got a new political player—and no, it''s not another DeFi protocol. Nigerian presidential candidate Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has stealth-launched $PRESIDENT, a memecoin that’s either a genius grassroots campaign tool or a shameless pump-and-dump wrapped in patriotism.

Politicians Flirt With Crypto Again

Move over, Trump NFTs—Kwankwaso’s team bypassed traditional fundraising and dropped the token directly to wallets. No whitepaper, no roadmap, just a thinly veiled bid to monetize voter enthusiasm. Solana’s low fees made it the obvious playground for this experiment in democracy-meets-degens.

Will It Survive Election Season?

Memecoins live and die by hype cycles, but this one’s tied to an actual election timeline. If Kwankwaso’s polling numbers crash, so does the token’s utility—assuming it had any to begin with. Meanwhile, crypto traders are already placing bets on whether this becomes Nigeria’s answer to MAGA coin or just another dead ERC-20 casualty.

Another day, another politician realizing crypto wallets are easier to open than campaign bank accounts—especially when financial regulators come knocking.
