Netizens criticize Time’s writer for including Tinubu in list of 100 most influential people
In another news, Astha Rajvanshi, a writer for Time magazine, has locked her Twitter account after receiving criticism for including Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Tinubu, on the latest Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world.
The article Rajvanshi wrote for Tinubu painted his role as a “longtime political power broker” and his efforts in helping to restore Nigeria’s democracy in 1999.
However, many Nigerian Twitter users, who are mostly supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, known as ‘Obidients’ lambasted the writer for decorating Tinubu’s contentious political career, which includes allegations of corruption and a drug case in the United States, among others.
