On the 12th of June, Nigeria held a parade to celebrate their democracy day, due to this day President Tinubu gives a speech to the nation and afterwards heads to the ceremony at Eagle Square, Abuja. A shoot of President Tinubu falling down as he climbs has gone viral and become the center of attention to Nigerians.
The viral video made its way all over social media and some found it funny and shared some comments to it.
Some politicians made a comment also showcasing their concern for the President. Peter Obi states in X, formerly known as twitter, “I was saddened to learn of President Tinubu’s unfortunate fall today. I wish him well. we achieve nothing by gloating about an accident that could happen to any of us” this indirectly addresses the attention Nigerians have paid to the accident.
Atiku Abubakar also made a comment on X, twitter, “I sincerely sympathize with President Bola Tinubu, over this unfortunate incident as he was set to review the parade on Democracy Day. I do hope that all is well with him.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
