The 2023 presidential election may have come and gone to many, it however has left a very bitter taste in the mouths of most Nigerians who came out in their large numbers to vote for what they believed was a better future only for the election results to be systemically manipulated in favour of the ruling party by the election umpire, INEC.
The man at the centre of it all, the INEC honcho, Prof Mahmood Yakubu has been declared ‘an enemy of Nigeria’ & a ‘weapon fashioned against Nigeria’s prosperity’ and for this reason Nigerians dedicated today, February 25th 2024 to lay ‘curses’ on him, exactly a year after the 2023 presidential election that majority of Nigerians believe the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi won.
Amidst the economic hardship caused by Tinubu’s ill-timed and unfavourable policies, Nigerians decided at this time it was pertinent to identify the root cause of the problem and send a strong signal of discontentment by way of invoking metaphysical powers to punish the INEC chairman for his ‘evil’ orchestration.
Nigerians widely believe Tinubu was not the choice of the electorate as evident by the widespread rigging, violence, and result manipulation that brought him into power, but rather an imposition by the ruling class which was made possible with a compromised election umpire.
The X (formerly Twitter) timeline is flooded with strong-worded curses directed at the academic.
