President-elect of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has headlined trends on social media, especially on Twitter as Nigerians storm the app to call out Mr. Bola Tinubu who has been missing in action after Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi’s election petition.
Majority of tweets alluded that the former Lagos State Governor is battling health issues.
“Funny thing is after all their distraction strategy – We don’t even know where
Tinubu is.
Old videos everywhere from the propaganda room but man is too senile to be in public space
Wonder how we’ll manage with this until SC restores the people’s mandate
#WhereIsTinubu” reads a tweet by BIG JOE OF LAGOS.
Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi recently filed a petition at the Presidential Election Court in Abuja to challenge Mr. Tinubu’s victory in the February 25, election.
The petition has resurrected the forfeiture of $460,000 by the former Governor of Lagos State over an alleged drug case in the United States. A ground on which Mr. Obi argued that “at the time of the (presidential) election, Mr. Tinubu was not qualified to contest the election” and called for his disqualification.
Meanwhile, the embattled Tinubu inaugural ceremony is slated to take place on May 9, 2023.
