As the 2023 presidential race heats up in Nigeria, one of the major controversies surrounding the candidacy of Bola Tinubu is the drug-related allegations that have been circulating for the past few months. These allegations have been a constant source of discussion and speculation on social media, even after Tinubu was declared the winner of the election.
The allegations were brought up by the opposition Labour Party, who used it as a reason to disqualify Tinubu from the presidential race. However, the court is yet to deliver a final verdict on the matter, and until then, the allegations remain unproven.
Despite this, some social media users have been spreading the hashtag #TinubuDrugDealer and calling for his imprisonment. This has raised concerns among some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tinubu’s political party, who fear that such allegations may tarnish his reputation.
One such member, Bayo Onanuga, has condemned those spreading the hashtag, warning them of the consequences of their actions. He stated that the “wrath of God and the law” will catch up with those spreading such unfounded allegations.
