Supporters of the All Progressives Congress(APC) Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) have taken a swipe at those mocking the APC strongman for allegedly dozing off at a public event in the NorthEast .
Some Tinubu’s supporters who reacted to the picture trending on the internet showing the APC Presudential flag-bearer taking a nap at Emir Palace said it was nothing to worry about, afterall “Tinubu is no superman”
One of the Tinubu’s critics and political adversaries ,Sunny igbanogo had posted on his facebook account the purported picture and commented
“Your Excellency President Emilokan! This is Our most respected Jagaban Bougu at Emir’s palace in Gombe, the man we’re told works 20 out of 24 hours in a day. Just a trip from Abuja to Gombe on a private plane o!
This is what you’ll see at AU, UN, FEC meetings. This is the man wicked people are pushing as your next President.”
Many protagonists of the former Lagos State governor cashed in on Igbanogo’s remarks to hurl attacks on Tinubu .
Some of them said it is high time Tinubu’s family summoned an emergency meeting and advise him(Tinubu) to drop his Presidential ambition over what they considered as ” failing health ” condition .
A super excited Tinubu critic said ” A boy ,this is killer punch.I wonder how his media handlers would handle this stack reality “
Responding to the various attacks on their official Facebook pages,Tinubu supporters urged those behind the hate cam5 to look for a more profitable enterprise.
They argued that it is not out of place for notable personalities across world to take a nap at public events. They also used the opportunity to provide pictorial evidences on some notable works leaders like ,President Donald Trump ,President Bill Clinton,former President Olusegun Obasanjo ,late South African Nelson Mandela and current American President Joe Biden where they had at one time or the other dozed off during great public events .
For instance Solomon Jegede ,writes ” No superman anywhere in the world
Asiwaju Bola Hammed Tinubu is human.What sterile point do you have more?
Also the Special Adviser to governor of Lagos State on Environment, Joe Igbokwe wrote Swear that you have not dozed off in the church or any public function. It Is human . It is natural. It does happen to active leaders.
“I remember those days when Asiwaju was the Governor of Lagos State. Sometimes 20 or 30 people will be waiting to see up to 3am. He came out of his office at 2am on a certain day and met all of us sleeping. He said: “You see ,all of you are sleeping and only me is awake to see all of you one by one. This life no balance oooo” We all laughed and empathized with him.” Igbokwe said.
An APC Youths leader, Sunday Wale Adeniran,who also showed a picture of governor of Edo State snoring at a public function wrote ” Obaseki did not nap, he slept and snored! I’m not a distributor, I manufacture vawulence.
