President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide; Lauretta Onochie, and Ojuelegba crooner , Wizkid, have engaged in a war of words on twitter.
This war is as a result of what happened over the weekend between Wizkid and President, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). Wizkid called the president of Nigeria an old man in a bid to get Buhari to listen to the youth of Nigeria.
In her tweet, Lauretta Onochie revealed that what the singer exhibited was crass ignorance, insensitivity and childishness, and he should never have addressed the president as an old man.
Not only did she use those unpleasant words to the artiste, she went ahead to call him a dumb kid.
Onochie tweeted, “Its not disrespectful to call anyone old. Its the way and manner Ayo Balogun addressed the President that leaves a sour taste in the mouth. He exhibited crass ignorance, insensitivity and childishness. But hey, he’s a #DumbkidNotWhizKid. When he grows up, he might learn respect.”
Wizkid replied the Special Assistant to Buhari claiming that age has nothing to do with demanding for good governance in Nigeria, but has everything to do with him being a father, and he cannot sit on his hands while people are getting killed by the police.
“lol a 77 year old man is not young ma.. You are a woman and a mother and kids are getting killed by police/sars and this is all you have to say? shame on you!!! shame on you!! I am a father and age has nothing to do with demanding for a better governance in my country!!”
Over the weekend, Wizkid and other top Nigerian celebrities showed their support for the #EndSARS campaign, and this has led to the word exchange between Wizkid and Lauretta Onichie.
President, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), sent a message to the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, over his ill health and had said nothing about the ongoing situation in Nigeria between the citizens and the police / SARS this caused Wizkid to use his voice to fight for the youth of Nigeria.
“Donald trump is not your business! Old man! Police/Sarz still killing Nigerian youth on a daily! Do something! Nothing concern u for America! Face your country !!”
