Twitter users berate Tinubu after APC loss in Edo

Some section of twitter users, on Sunday, trolled the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bola Tinubu, following the declaration of Governor Godwin Obaseki of the People’s Democratic Party as the winner of the September 19 governorship election in Edo State.

Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, via his twitter handle, @renoomkri, said the people of Edo had shown Tinubu that the state was different from Lagos.

“Retweet this to show Bola @AsiwajuTinubu that Edo is not Lagos. Send Tinubu back with his tail between his legs. Edo treasury will not be used for bullion vans!

They brought Ganduje, they brought @elrufai, they brought Tinubu. Yet, they still lost. Shame on them. Bringing mass murderers, bribe-takers and bullion van lovers. What a criminal bunch! God bless Edo!” Omokri tweeted.

Media scholar and newspaper columnist, Dr Farooq Kperogi, who tweeted @farooqkperogi, said, “Godwin Obaseki’s humiliating trouncing of Adams Oshiomhole (who infamously said for democracy to thrive people must learn to accept the ‘pain of rigging’) isn’t just a victory over Ize-Iyamu, Oshiomhole’s wide-eyed flunkey.

“It is also a repudiation of Bola Tinubu who recorded an impudent, cringy, error-ridden broadcast days ago urging Edo State to vote for another slavish stooge he was propping up in cahoots with Oshiomhole. But more than that, it is also a victory for the power of international pressure on Nigeria’s election riggers.”

Another twitter user, @OhioleAjayiPaul, tweeted, “Obaseki didn’t win in Edo, the people did. Ize-Iyamu didn’t lose in Edo, Tinubu and Oshiomhole did.

@MrOdanz, another twitter user, tweeted, “My dear Lagosians, it is very possible for you to break the chains of your slavery and be free from Tinubu. How long will you continue being in shackles?
