President-elect, Bola Tinubu has dared his critics on social media to continue saying whatever they like on various online platforms, saying it is a free speech society.


Tinubu insisted that his reason for telling the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, that he would not refund the cost of the flyovers he constructed in Rivers was because he could not make any commitment until he was sworn in as the President.

Tinubu, during a banquet in his honour on Wednesday night revisited what he called the banter with Wike, noting that it has generated a lot of reactions on social media.


But, the former Lagos State Governor said there is no name he has not been called on social media, stating that he does not respond to social media criticisms.


His words: “I exchanged a banter with Gov Wike, if you take me seriously, (it’s left to you). The truth is, I’m a President-elect. I have no signature for expenditure until sworn in. How can I make a commitment? I cannot sign a dime of Nigeria money or expenditure now. There can only be one president at a time.

“If you ask me to go and commit to things that are mere expectations and cannot be fulfilled, I believe in fulfilling promises, that’s why I’m here. And we have to do it for Nigeria. I thank you all for the support you gave me during the election, but I’m still on a countdown.


“If I sign anything for you now and commit to it, I can’t pay. For that flyover, how can I pay, personal? That’s not realistic.

“I hope that clears the social media fears. I don’t respond to (social media talks). There is no name they’ve not called me on (social media). It’s a free speech society and around the world.”

He said he was only begging our Daddy. But we won all the polling booths in Yes Daddy neighborhood both in his State of residence Ogun and in his State of origin Kwara. We have consistently won all in the last three general elections. Even Olusegun Obasanjo that is backing the Yes Daddy puppet with woman’s voice, we won all polling booths in and around his residence

They are acting a script to deceive us. Don't fall for this cheap propaganda by Tinubu and Wike

What is this one rambling?

Chameleonism.

At least Obi won't tell a sitting governor who went through hoops to rig his state for him to come and beg him before be can get money he spent on federal roads back knowing full well its an FG policy since the time of Yaradua.

If you aren't any daft you'll know your lord is simply tempering the public mockery he's made of Wike since yesterday afternoon.

Social media cannot be banned
But, obviously need to be regulated, people should be held accountable for their utterances on that space.

Igbos are Biafrans not Nigerians.The Nigerian Zoo Govt did nothing wrong.
The Prime minister of Biafra,Simon Ekpa should send aircraft to the Igbos in Sudan.
