In yet another gaffe, presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu said Nigerians like “tweeting on WhatsApp,” a comment suggesting the former Lagos governor could not distinguish between WhatsApp and Twitter, two dominant social media platforms.

Mr Tinubu, during a campaign event at Onikan Stadium on Sunday, decried how Nigeria has not been able to harness its full potential in the area of modern technology, saying he would fix the problem if elected.

“Do you know how many of you tweeting on WhatsApp right now? [intelligle] holds a database of 1.6 billion on WhatsApp alone.”

Mr Tinubu, however, failed to correct himself and specify that WhatsApp is a messaging platform owned by Facebook and its estimated users stand at two billion as of the end of 2021, the largest worldwide.

On the other hand, Twitter is a microblogging platform used by politicians, journalists, businesses, and everyday citizens to comment on emerging issues and causes.

Mr Tinubu’s mixture of both platforms marks another instance of his embarrassing public statements, which experts said could be a sign of mental health challenges.

The 70-year-old politician said last year that the Nigerian military should recruit 50 million youths to fight unemployment, a statement his handlers later walked back.

Earlier this year, he was caught on camera appearing to urinate on his body. He also said the permanent voter cards have an expiry date, contrary to public knowledge and the position of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Mt Tinubu’s age has been a subject of public controversy as some politicians who have known him for decades past insist he should be in his 80s and not 70s as he’s officially claiming.

He, however, maintained that he’s in good health and can govern 200 million Nigerians successfully if elected, with his supporters often pointing to President Muhammadu Buhari, who assumed office and spent months in hospital, as an indication of what’s possible.

Forget it, this will not get to FP, just like the Bullion Van Thief’s Shitting story didn’t.

It’s common knowledge that Thiefnibu is sick and senile.

The way they are trying to force this bone down our throats!

Tinubu is just a fool

Una go cry tire o. Una leave buhari wey dey kill una with hunger dey scream tinubu up and down.

Tinubu go and rest.
I don't want you to get to that office and start recruiting 50 million youths to feed with cassava and maize

He wants to form youngee at 85

YeyeGbami:
Una go cry tire o. Una leave buhari wey dey kill una with hunger dey scream tinubu up and down.

na tilumbu put us for buhari mess

Only fools will mock a man whose businesses are driven by technology. If you can mention one endeavor of Tinubu that is not successful either as an entrepreneur or in politics, then I will withdraw my support for him unapologetically.
If you had sense, you'd know that we are not in the race to elect a Facebook/Metaverse or Twitter President but someone who has the mental capacity with a proven record of deliverables.
The fact that Biden sticks out his hand to shake the air would not make him bow to Putin. As far as Tinubu ticks almost all the boxes, Nigeria is good to go.

Seem like Tinubu will be worse than buhari

1. Employ 50,000,000 Nigerians in to army.
2. Your current PVC has expired
3. Nigerians like to tweet in WhatsApp
4. NIPP registration instead of NIN

politicians wantsn’t tell the disparity between WhatsApp and Twitter

PrinceOfLagos:
Tinubu is just a fool

Be careful! Tinubu is an ancestor he doesn't belong to this reality of modern day Nigeria,i wonder how he wants to become president.

See the foolishness of having senile grandpas of this bullion vans crook in the cycle of leadership for a country already batter by failed leadership, corruption and greed?

How's this a news?

Must he know the difference at his age?

What's wrong with you People's brain

"PVC has expired"

"Tweeting on WhatsApp"

Buhari will be a child's play compared to this disaster.
