Reacting to the video shared, a tweep @mayorlistik called FFK out for dubbing Atiku, whom he had previously called an ethnic bigot and terrorists’ sponsor, a “gladiator”
He tweeted: “Dnt u call Atiku ethnic bigot and terrorists’ sponsor? Now u call him a great gladiator? You even called Tinubu names in d past and had serious allegations against him. Today, u r defending him of those same allegations u accused him of. Iranu? U can call Satan a beautiful bride.”
Another tweep, @BLU3PRINZ weighed in on @mayorlistik’s comment and said: “Are you really surprised? Femi Is just exactly like his father. That’s what they are known for in that family. That’s why the daughters disowned him. They hate that Fani-Kayode surname so much because it’s cursed 😂”
@tequanev also slammed FFK for his caption and said he talked from both sides of his mouth.
“Atiku is now a great gladiator? Someone you’ve been insulting all week long…. Talking from both sides of the mouth as usual.
🤣🤣🤣🤣”
@king_chimdi also said: “Imagine if it was only tinubu and Atiku contesting. Thank God for saving us.”
Ibrahim Abdullahi reacted to @king_chimdi’s tweet: “Clearly, God didn’t save you from anything, because one of them will definitely be our president.”
