Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he could no longer cope with the torrents of insults hurled at him on social media.
The former Lagos State governor said he had since stop reading things on social media for the sake of his health.
Tinubu, who frequently updates verified social media handles under his name, said this in a video currently trending online.
“I don’t read social media anymore; they abuse the hell out of me. If I read it, I get high blood pressure and angry. I don’t read it, so if I want to hear anything; my children or my workers will say this one said this, and when I’m tired, I say please forget it!”
Tinubu, who has constantly made headlines in the ongoing campaign for the 2023 election, said social media gives him high blood pressure.
While rounding off his speech at his campaign flag-off in Jos on Tuesday, he suffered a slip of tongue as he mistakenly referred to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) when he had his party in mind.
“…I hand over back to the chairman of the party before he disciplines me for leaving the President waiting and keeping him standing. We are calling, inviting the national chairman to invite the President. At least to close this part of the ceremony. Thank you, God bless you, God bless Nigeria. God bless PD…APC,” he had said.
The subsequent became a subject of mockery on social media as critics demarketed the ruling party’s candidate and said he was unfit to be president.
