Abba Yusuf Bichi, the son of Director-General of the Department of State Services, Mr. Yusuf Magaji Bichi, has received severe backlash for his Instagram post on Monday.
Abba stated that presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, is wasting his time by taking up his case against the 2023 presidential election at the tribunal which had its pre-hearing on 8 May,
In an Instagram post he shared, Abba stated that Bola Tinubu is the legally elected President, and even if Peter Obi “visits heaven,” it won’t change the result.
He wrote: “Legally elected president federal republic of Nigeria . if peter obi likes let him go to heaven, heaven will still send him back and declare Asiwaju as the president of this great nation”.
Some Nigerians have been reacting to his post, with some bashing him and calling him names.
A netizen Last Shader said: “Those who are fed and live off the commonwealth of the masses should be more circumspect of the way they speak in public, especially on contentious topical issues.”
Another social media user stated why we need Peter Obi as the President.
“That’s why we need someone like PO. We need a stingy president.”
One user queried the reason Peter Obi is constantly been attacked when he is not the only candidate who filed petition against Tinubu.
“Why the attack on Obi? Is he the only one in court? Why the headache? Why the focus on him? Because his mandate was stolen? Loss of sleep about the 3rd candidate? Tell us why?” he asked.
Another user angered by Abba Yusuf Bichi’s comment, called Nigeria a shithole and went further by comparing it to Malawi where he resides.
“Nigeria is no more than a banana republic! Children of government functionaries babble into serious State affairs way above them! That’s how the midget man El-Rufai’s son goes about insulting everyone. Can the son of FBI, CIA , KGB or MOSSAD Head utter such rubbish ? Useless country! I will be watching you in that shithole from my little abode in Malawi, a small African country that is making huge progress!”
Mayowa said: “You are saying this because you know he never won the Election. If you remove the conspicuous Units where BIVAS was not used, you will know that Obi beat Tinubu by over 1.2 Million Votes.”
