Ghanaian socialite, Afia Schwarzenegger, and political analyst, Kwame A Plus,have joined those who are not pleased with the outcome.
Expressing their views on the election results, they posted on their instagram pages, they featured a photo of the 70-year-old looking dejected and confused while wearing a Jalabia and a hat, suggesting that Nigerians had made the wrong choice.
Afia Schwarzenegger wrote, “Okay ooo…Since this is what you want…Congratulations Nigerians…Africa is proud of you all.”
A Plus appeared to question the decision of Nigerians, writing, “Wei???? ???? Aaawell… Congratulations Sir,” after asking if Tinubu was really the man Nigerians had voted for.
