An Associate Professor of Journalism and Emerging Media at Kennesaw State University, Georgia, USA, Dr. Farooq Kperogi, has said some online trolls and supporters of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) have been sending petitions to his employer to fire him.

Kperogi, a newspaper columnist and critic of the Buhari regime, revealed this in a post via his Twitter handle on Thursday.

He said he was just becoming aware of their attempt to get him sacked and mocked the petitioners for assuming their petitions would get him sacked.

“These low-IQ twerps think America is Nigeria,” he said.

Kperogi, however, said the actions of the trolls and supporters of Buhari have energized him to be more critical of the regime.

He wrote:

“I’m just becoming aware that hordes of headless online trolls of the Buhari regime are writing– or have written– an online petition to get me fired from my university. I didn’t realize I’m that much of a threat to Buhari’s decaying autocracy.

“But the stupidity of Buhari’s inept regime– and the idiotic minions it hires to troll critics– is truly boundless. These low-IQ twerps think America is Nigeria. I’m now even more energized than ever before to expose the fetid fraud that is this regime.”
