on

Lagos State All Progressives Congress Women Leader, Jumoke Okoya-Thomas, has been trending over a statement she made during a TV appearance on Wednesday.

Okoya-Thomas while on the show indicted the supporters of the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of embarking on a campaign of calumny against other political opponents.

“One thing I like about Atiku is that he does not embark on this campaign of calumny like Obidients,” she said.

She also said that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will return to Nigeria in the next 48 hours.

The statement which apparently did not go well with some viewers, has been generating reactions.
