“The fact that I know we now have a president that is conscious of what he’s doing and his environment shows an upgrade to what we used to have.”
Mayowa Rafael commended the president for the move. He said:
“It’s the business of the nation, not family members’ business. God bless you, my president, for that concern.”
Ebubedike said if it would have been Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or Peter Obi of the Labour Party were the president, their sons would not have been imagined appearing at the FEC meeting. He said:
“Can you imagine in any way a Peter Obi’s or Atiku’s son showing up in a FEC meeting? It can’t be imagined.”
Ezenwoko Miracle posited that it is a public relations strategy of the president. He said:
“Staged. You saw him sitting there unduly, and you never walked him out but waited to take a video of you saying it is unacceptable and calling a list of those who will join the next meeting. Strategic staged media PR.”

“Atiku found his voice”: Tinubu reacts to PDP candidate’s press conference
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu has mocked Atiku Abubakar, the PDP candidate in the 2023 election, over his comment on the judgment of the Supreme Court.
Atiku, at a press conference on Monday, berated the ruling of the apex court that dismissed his appeal against Tinubu, alleging that the supreme court legalised illegality by its judgment.
But Tinubu said Atiku was manipulating public opinion while blaming the judiciary for his loss in the 2023 election.
