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 , 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 ?

“ Your city is deteriorating , illiterates , thugs and hoodlums rule over your city . Be like Edo people and get rid of your demi - god .

“ Any loss for Asiwaju Tinubu is a huge victory for Nigeria. We need him to keep capitulating outside Lagos . ”

Also , Oyo State Governor , Mr Seyi Makinde , while congratulating governor Obaseki via his twitter handle ,

@ Seyiamakinde , said Edo was different from Lagos .

“ Congratulations , H . E . , @ GovernorObaseki and Deputy Gov Phillip Shaibu for a well -deserved victory . Well done to the National Campaign Council for Edo State of our great party , @ OfficialPDPNig led by H . E . ,

@ GovWike . The victory is for the people of Edo State . # EdoNoBeLagos , ” Makinde tweeted .

Rivers State Governor , Nysom Wike , via his tweeter handle , @ GovWike , wrote , “ # EdoDecides 2020 ends in praise . ”

A former governor of Ekiti State , Mr Ayodele Fayose , while tweeting

@ GovAyoFayose , however urged Obaseki not to abandon the PDP .

He tweeted , “ The outcome of Edo State election has shown once again that we can have free , fair and credible elections if those in control of the FG allow

@ inecnigeria and security agencies to do their jobs without interference .

“ I congratulate Godwin Obaseki and urge him to see this victory as a challenge by the people of Edo State to do more for them . Most importantly , I wish to remind him that @ OfficialPDPNig came to his rescue in his hour of political need .

“ Obaseki should remain in the
