A student election campaign at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has gone viral on social media after a video showed an African student making unusually ambitious promises during his speech. The clip, recorded during campaigning for a representative post at Nadeem Tarin (NT) Hall, features a student identified as Ayyuba, whose energetic speech in Hindi quickly caught attention online.
In the video, Ayyuba addressed students with confidence and humour while outlining his manifesto. Among his most talked-about promises was providing tea three times a day for all students in the hall if elected. He also spoke about practical and exaggerated proposals, including starting a metro service between the hostel and college due to the distance.
His list of promises further included installing air conditioners in the hall, setting up a swimming pool within the premises, and placing washing machines on every floor for student use. His speech, delivered in a dramatic and expressive style, drew loud cheers from the audience present.

NT se college bohot door hai… toh mai METRO start karunga,” he said during the campaign. He also added, “Har floor pe washing machine hoga. Agar mai Secretary bana toh NT me sabko 3 time chai milega.”
The crowd was seen reacting enthusiastically in the video, chanting slogans like “Ayyuba Zindabad!” as his speech continued.
