Tinubu Sparks Mixed Reactions As He Renames Messi ‘Emi Lo Kan Of Doha’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has congratulated Lionel Messi on his win at the 2022 FIFI World Cup.

Naija News reports that Messi won the World Cup after Argentina saw off France on penalties after the most anticipated final ended 3-3.

This is amidst the argument and discussions online that Messi would be defeated but Argentina surprisingly claimed glory for the first time since 1986.

Amidst the Jubilation online, Tinubu took to his Twitter page to congratulate Messi as he renames him.

The former Governor of Lagos indirectly likened himself to Messi and what Nigeria would probably experience in the 2023 election.

He wrote: “Emi lo kan of Doha”

That’s something worth emulating. Apply this philosophy in politics, u are contesting but u are n¤t fit to rule.”
