Presidential Aide Intervenes As Fight Intensifies Over Sabinus’ Skit On Tinubu

Alleged gaffes of All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu were over the Christmas holiday providing fuel for an online fight between his supporters and comedian Chukwuemeka Ejekwu popularly known as Sabinus over his skits on the politician.

GWG.ng reports that Sabinus had recently staged a comedy skit where some gaffes of Tinubu were brought to light amusing many critics of the APC presidential candidate.

Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad a strong supporter of Tinubu had come out at the weekend to condemn the skits.

He wrote, “This is so insulting, Sabinus.”

Reports subsequently emerged that many APC supporters had started unfollowing Sabinus on his social media handles. That report has now been discounted.

However, investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo, on Sunday entered the fray after he criticised supporters of Tinubu over their reaction to the skits saying that comedians provide anecdotes and stories that elicit laughter in a tough clime like Nigeria, “if you decide to unfollow happiness, na you sabi”.

“If you unfollowed Sabinus because you find his latest comedy offensive to your political god, you’re only punishing yourself and that’s your own personal problem.

“This Naija is hard already; na people like Sabinus we take dey console ourselves from time to time.

“If you decide to unfollow happiness, na you sabi,” Soyombo wrote on his verified Twitter handle.”
