Protesters in Nigeria recently carried a mock coffin of President Bola Tinubu on a Keke Napep, sparking widespread reactions. The protesters used the symbolic act to express their dissatisfaction with Tinubu's administration, likening it to a similar event during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure. This protest, held in various parts of the country, drew mixed reactions from the public.
Many social media users pointed out the irony, recalling how Tinubu and his supporters had previously criticized Jonathan. Comments on platforms like Nairaland highlighted a sense of karma, with users stating that Tinubu is now experiencing what he once dished out. Some commenters were amused, noting the presence of escorts and dispatch riders during the protest.
However, not all reactions were supportive. Some viewed the act as disrespectful, arguing that two wrongs do not make a right. They condemned the protest, emphasizing the need for constructive criticism rather than symbolic gestures of disdain.
Despite the divided opinions, the protest underscores the growing discontent with the current administration and the ongoing demand for accountability and good governance in Nigeria.
