Time Magazine, staff writer, Astha Rajvanshi has been forced to put all her social media accounts on private mode following the backlashes she received for her article on President-elect Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as one of the world’s most influential people of 2023.
Heraldviews reports that the media company
located in the United States Of America on Thursday listed the former Lagos
governor in the category of influential “leaders” alongside US President, Joe
Biden.
TIME, further stressed that Tinubu spent
about 20 years preparing to be Nigeria’s president.
“Winning an
election in Africa’s most populous country is no easy feat. But Nigeria’s newly
elected President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has had nearly two decades to prepare.
Called Jagaban, or “leader of the warriors,” by his supporters, the now
71-year-old ran in a presidential election for the first time this March. His
campaign slogan, “It’s my turn,” was a nod to his role as a longtime political
power broker. Tinubu helped restore the country’s democracy in 1999 after fighting
military rule and then served two consecutive terms as governor of Lagos,” TIME
stated.
However, some Nigerians in reaction to the
viral article resulted to dragging the journalist on all her social media
pages, including Twitter and Linkedin over her professional opinion of the 2023
general elections.
Nigeria’s president-elect, Tinubu, Heraldviews
understands is being challenged in court by opposition parties over alleged
vote rigging, and other controversial issues, such as his drug trafficking in
America, and qualifications.
Checks by this publication shows that,
Rajvanshi whose account on Twitter was public has now gone private since the
article was published yesterday.
Her Facebook page is also littered with obscene
comments from displeased Nigerians who found her article on the
President-elect, Tinubu offensive
