“Buhari is trying to eat Beans with Okro soup and 21 days old ‘Kunu’ to push it down.”
These were the words of former Senator of Kogi West in Nigeria’s national assembly, Dino Melaye while reacting to the news that President Muhammadu Buhari, has ordered the ban of Twitter indefinitely in the country.
Melaye was instrumental to the enthronement of the Buhari government in 2015 as an APC member and won the ticket to represent Kogi West in the senate.
The former federal lawmaker however left the camp of Buhari after the emergence of Bukola Saraki as Senate President in a controversial manner, which did not get the blessings of the APC leadership.
Since then, Melaye has been a vocal critic of Mr Buhari, using his social media handles to attack the government.
At the announcement of the ban on Twitter on Friday, Melaye posted a cryptic message on his Facebook page about how the president with his action, would be eating Beans with an Okro soup.
