Tinubu Replies Social Media Critics On ‘Rejecting’ Wike’s Request
President-elect Bola Tinubu has challenged his social media critics to continue saying whatever they want on various online platforms, claiming that it is a free speech society.
Tinubu insisted that the reason he told Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike that he would not refund the cost of the flyovers he built in Rivers was that he couldn’t make any commitment until he was sworn in as President.
Tinubu revisited the banter with Wike at a banquet in his honor on Wednesday night, noting that it elicited a lot of reactions on social media.

However, the former Lagos State Governor stated that he has been called every name under the sun on social media and that he does not respond to social media criticisms.
His words: “I exchanged a banter with Gov Wike, if you take me seriously, (it’s left to you). The truth is, I’m a President-elect. I have no signature for expenditure until sworn in. How can I make a commitment? I cannot sign a dime of Nigeria money or expenditure now. There can only be one president at a time.
“If you ask me to go and commit to things that are mere expectations and cannot be fulfilled, I believe in fulfilling promises, that’s why I’m here. And we have to do it for Nigeria. I thank you all for the support you gave me during the election, but I’m still on a countdown.
“If I sign anything for you now and commit to it, I can’t pay. For that flyover, how can I pay, personal? That’s not realistic.
“I hope that clears the social media fears. I don’t respond to (social media talks). There is no name they’ve not called me on (social media). It’s a free speech society and around the world.”
