Similar tactics were adopted by aspirants from Bello and Kuti Halls, who circulated personality of the day or personality of the week graphics.
Some individuals responsible for the graphics have been identified as political actors from Kuti and Bello Halls.
A birthday celebration tactic was also adopted by some supporters.
