Tweeps have criticized the incoming administration as #TinubuIsnotMyPresident trends ahead of the May 29 inauguration.
Glamtush reports that some Nigerians have taken to social media to denounce the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ahead of tomorrow’s inauguration, saying he’s not their president.
This online newspaper understands that the move by some Nigerians on social media followed the comments by the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on Saturday, said that he will never call Tinubu, his president.
Bakare, a renowned cleric and card-carrying member of Tinubu’s party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), alleged a series of malpractices during the 2023 elections, insisting that the Independent National Electoral Commission made a mess of the electioneering process.
On Sunday, some Nigerians stormed the microblogging platform, Twitter, and trended the hashtag #TinubuIsnotMyPresident, announcing LP candidate Peter Obi, as their leader.
One Dallas tweeted; ”Nigerians didn’t vote for Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election. A drug dealer cannot be my president because I am not a drug dealer. #TinubuDidNotWinAnyElection #TinubuIsNotMyPresident”
Another Twitter user wrote: ”BOLA AHMED TINUBU IS NOT MY PRESIDENT. He is an unconstitutional President-elect and will also be an unconstitutional President if he is sworn in. Chimamanda Osinbajo Islamization Osibanjo Colos Wike Daura #TinubuIsNotMyPresident ChatGPT Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
