On Sunday, President Muhammadu Buhari’s media advisor, Bashir Ahmad, amplified a tweet from Bayo Onanuga in which he predicted that Bola Tinubu’s critics would soon suddenly die.
Your days are numbered, all you sons of bitches tweeting with the hashtags #TinubuTheDrugDealer #TinubuForPrison, Mr. Onanuga wrote in a tweet.
Mr. Ahmad retweeted Mr. Onanuga’s death wish for Mr. Tinubu’s detractors in agreement and support, amplifying and increasing its visibility to his 1.5 million Twitter followers.
Less than 24 hours after the State Security Service (SSS) warned politicians against making inflammatory statements, Mr. Onanuga expressed his desire for death for Mr. Tinubu’s detractors.
The SSS warned to deal with those making inflammatory and inciting statements in a statement released on Saturday.
“On the other hand, it is disturbing to see well-known people using their platforms to mislead or incite the public. This does not bode well for peaceful coexistence or general order, to put it mildly.
The SSS said in a statement on Saturday that it would “continue to take necessary measures to checkmate these elements who do not wish the country well.”
