President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again stirred debates across social media following a video where he stated that he did not come to seek money or power, but to work for the Nigerian people. He went on to claim that this is why “they” voted for him.
However, this statement has triggered a wave of criticism from Nigerians, with many questioning the legitimacy of his victory in the 2023 presidential election. In response to Tinubu’s comments, several Nigerians have asked, “Which Nigerians voted for you?” pointing fingers at Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), who they claim played a significant role in ensuring his triumph.
The election, which saw Tinubu ascend to power, has been widely criticized both domestically and internationally. Observers described it as one of the most flawed elections in Nigeria’s recent history, marked by allegations of tribalism, violence, and corruption. These irregularities have cast a shadow over the integrity of the election, leading to ongoing debates about the true mandate of the Tinubu administration.
