2023: Nigerian Comedian Sabinus Loses Thousands Of Followers Over ‘Caricature’ Video Of Tinubu

Nigerian comedian and content creator Chukwuemeka Emmanuel, popularly known as Sabinus, has lost thousands of his followers on the microblogging platform, Twitter after making a caricature video mimicking the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Recall that the former Governor of Lagos State, has come under a series of controversies since he declared his intentions to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023,

Many of his critics have said he not fit enough to be president, claiming that he is unhealthy and urging him to give chance to a better person in the party. Some accused him of being a drug lord, saying he had been convicted while living in the US.

The APC presidential candidate has several times been found gaffing during campaign rallies which gives more evidence for his critics to hold on to regarding his health.

Tinubu has debunked any fear concerning his health as well as his alleged drug case and affirmed that he will perform better if given the opportunity to serve as the president.

Sabinus, to entertain his crowd at a recent show, the Port-Harcourt born skit maker teaming up with a group of comics, made a caricature version of the presidential candidate at various instances.

This comic act angered supporters of the APC flag bearer resulting to a mass unfollowing.

Reacting to the video, presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad called out the comic, noting that the video was insulting to his principal.
