Tinubu’s first daughter, Folasade Tinubu-Ojo has caused a stir online with her new title on her Twitter bio.
The young woman updated her bio and declared herself as the Iyaloja General of Nigeria.
This caused an uproar from Nigerians on social media including David Hundeyin who didn’t hesitate to slam her over the declaration.
In his tweet, Hundeyin expressed his dissatisfaction at Tinubu and his family members and accused them of trying to ‘cut the ticket’ of Nigerian citizens.
In his words:
“Iyaloja General of Nigeria. These people legit have no greater ambition than to cut tickets every day for every Nigerian citizen. Even Buhari was more subtle.”
Reacting to this, Weyimi said: “That’s the dream David, that’s the dream their minion also aspire to achieve. Nothing productive whatsoever.”
General Oluchi wrote: “Didn’t we warn people of her plans to be the Iyaloja of Nigeria? Una go see the real taxing. Lol!”
Ayodeji added: “We don enter wahala like this. I don dey apply for jobs outside Nigeria since yesterday.”
