President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said on Wednesday that frontline activist, Aisha Yesufu is bitter and toxic over the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Onanuga said Yesufu is bitter that the presidential candidate she supported, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, came third.
He was reacting to Yesufu’s remark over South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s action against Tinubu during his inauguration.
In a video of his inauguration, Ramaphosa ignored Tinubu while greeting other leaders in a straight line.
Commenting on the video, Yesufu wrote: “My people say Pikin wey no hear word for house na for outside dem go disgrace am! Tinubu disgraced once again in South Africa.”
Reacting, Onanuga described Yesufu and her followers as uncouth and pessimists.
Posting on X, Onanuga wrote: “Aisha and her uncouth horde of pessimists are always quick to rush to judgment with any whiff of what appears to them to be negative to the leader of Africa’s biggest democracy.
“More than a year after the 2023 election, in which their candidate came third, they remain incurably bitter and toxic, more than the supporters of the man who came second.”
