Why I Stopped Using Social Media - Tinubu

By John Michael Ojo
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate  of  the ruling All Progressives  Congress has disclosed why he left social media platforms.

The former governor of Lagos State who has been at the center of controversies in a video shared by one of his allies, Ademola Oshodi on microblogging platform,  Twitter,  stated that he abandoned social media as a result of the insults hauled at him.

Tinubu also disclosed that he almost had health complication as a result of the attacks he received from social media on a daily basis.

Narrating his ordeal,  Tinubu said: “I don’t read social media anymore;  they abuse the hell out of me. If I read it, I get high blood pressure and angry.

“I don’t read it, so if I want to hear anything, my children or my workers would  say this one say this and when I’m tired, I say please forget it.”

Tinubu’s health has been a subject of concern particularly among members of the opposition and youths with many wondering if he is fit enough to contest in next year’s presidential election.

He has also in no doubt avoided every public debate so far conducted by well meaning Nigerians and conventional media houses.

He is also alleged to have been heavily involved in a hard drug scandal which took place in the United States in 1993.

A recent document tendered by the APC presidential flagbearer to the Independent  National Electoral Commission INEC, showed that Tinubu graduated from Government College Lagos in 1970, four years before the school was established in 1974.
