Dawisu Twitter



The Special Adviser on New Media to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, Salihu Tanko Yakasai, aka Dawisu, sparked an uproar on Twitter on Wednesday with his tweet throwing a jibe at Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).

Yakasai in a tweet via his handle @Daviwu on Tuesday had described Osinbajo as VP Academics.

He was responding to a tweet from another Twitter user asking if the leadership of the country had moved to New York in United State to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

He wrote:

 

His tweet has attracted a series of criticisms from social media users as many Nigerians slammed him for ‘insulting the vice president’, others also lambasted APC followers on Twitter for keeping mum as Dawisu insults Osinbajo, saying he seems to derive pleasure from throwing jibes at the Southwest APC.

Recall that while the 2019 Presidential election results were still being counted in February, Dawisu took to Twitter to lament the votes garnered by President Muhammadu Buhari in the Southwest, describing the votes as “lower-than-expected”.

He lambasted the Southwest zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for failing to deliver despite being the “biggest beneficiary of the Buhari government in terms of juicy appointments and projects.”

In his response to the uproar generated by his tweet, Dawisu wrote:

“Ordinary tweet and I am now being classified under those that are for and against and true colours and bla bla. You see ba, how the VPs team react to things like these will determine how mad interesting 2023 will be. By the way, I’m his huge fan, still am.”

Reacting to Dawisu’s tweet, career development expert, Dr Dipo Awojide wrote:

Anytime SW PDP boys drag Osinbajo, SW APC boys will come out blazing and firing on all cylinders. But if the attack/dragging comes from a Northerner, including an APC member, SW APC boys usually disappear from the TL. But if someone like me talk small, they’ll camp in my mention.”

Popular UK-based Nigerian lady, Adetutu Balogun, also chastised Dawisu, describing his tweet as irresponsible.

She tweeted:

“Is this guy not the PA to Ganduje? How can a handle of a PA to a sitting Governor tweet that “Vice President (Academics) is still around” meaning that @ProfOsinbajo is still around. Why do Nigeria have so many irresponsible people both young & old in the corridor of power!”
