TINUBU did not rig election to govern; he rigged election to enjoy the perks of office – AISHA YESUFU

Thursday, August 14, 2025 - Former co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group, Aisha Yesufu, on Thursday suggested why President Bola Tinubu rigged the election to be president.

Yesufu said Tinubu rigged himself into the office of the President to enjoy the perks of the office and not to govern.

She was reacting to former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s criticism of Tinubu’s planned two-way trip abroad.

Obi accused the president of planning to travel to Japan and Brazil while Nigeria bleeds and remains in a deplorable state.

He insisted that such a trip was insensitive.

Obi had said: “How can anyone explain that a President who came from Brazil recently and met with the President is returning to the same country, leaving the various degrees of challenges at home unresolved?”

Reacting, Yesufu mocked Tinubu, whom she called “Agba baller.”

Posting on X, Yesufu wrote: “Mr Tinubu did not rig election to govern, he rigged election to enjoy the perks of office. Agba baller.”

Except for a change of plans, Tinubu will today depart Nigeria for Japan and Brazil.
