Apparently, Akin Alabi; a member of the House of Representatives and Nairabet CEO seems to be the next victim of Nigerians twitter attack over his recent tweets barely 12 hours after Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari was slammed over london trip.

The House of Representatives member had tweeted that ‘whether you like it or not, in a presidential system of government (eg, US, Nigeria), the post of the Chief of Staff is more “powerful” than that of the Vice President. He is the assistant President. The Vice President is a stand in for the president’ as his reaction towards the argument that followed the Chief of Staffs trip to London for assention of the Deep Offshore act by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Nairabet CEO also tweeted that, ‘we said start a blog and write articles 3 times daily, that it will pay off after some time but said it was hard work. Now you are “fighting” to sign up with Opera to write for them. I understand. Guaranteed income’.

These two tweets seem to have angered a lot of Nigerians as they storm his Twitter page to show their anger, dissatisfaction and some Nigerians hurled insults at him.

Eventuarry, Akin Alabi has proven to us again that adult education cannot fix some things in people's lives. I'll advice him to stay with his betting / Aja 1 business. Everybody knows he is an accidental politician.

I don't blame him, cluelessness is contagious.

Just reading this Akin Alabi’s trend and I could tell for a fact that 80% of those insulting him don’t even understand the context and message of his tweet.

SAD 😞

Weighing in on the Akin Alabi conversation,
I 💪🏾 feel his point is that by the design of the Presidential system, it only empowers the vice president when the president is absent or indisposed, whl the office of chief of staff is empowered 2 discharge administrative duties – #PWR

Akin Alabi and that Doctor guy have one thing in common.

"having an opinion in every matter and yet again sound stupid"

If Akin Alabi wants to lick ass he should do it properly.

What do you mean by the "Chief of Staff is more powerful than the VP?" what are you smoking on?

Our Constitution grants the VP a joint mandate with the President.
