SocialMediaTrends: Nigerians react as Youths hold mega rally for Tinubu-Shettima in Lagos

Nigerians took to social media on Saturday to react to another parable by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the 2023 presidential candidate, All Progressives Congress (APC).

In his latest public delivery, Tinubu made his opinion on national debt acquisition by the Buhari regime.

“Yes, borrowing. If borrowing is a crime, the entire America should be in jail.

“If borrowing is a crime, stop using Mercedes Benz and Lexus,” said Tinubu

The statement which many have tagged incoherent has subjected Tinubu to more scrutiny over his mental alertness and general healthiness as he is alleged to be struggling with his frail physicality.

See how Nigerians are reacting:

Have the APC Aristotle(s) started explaining what Tinubu meant by the supposed adage “if borrowing is a crime, stop using Mercedes Benz and Lexus” ??😩

A man that has lots of bullion vans is asking Nigerians to stop using Mercedes Benz & Lexus.

Tinubu will be happier to see Nigerians getting poorer & poorer.

Tinubu will never be President of Nigeria!
