Nigerians are sharing their reactions to a picture featuring Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers State, and Bola Tinubu, and it seems that Wike's suit was incorrectly buttoned in the photo.
In a recent development, the Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit aimed at disqualifying Governor Nyesom Wike from participating in the previous governorship election.
The five-member panel, led by the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, unanimously ruled that the notice of appeal filed by the plaintiff, Elvis Chinda, before the Court of Appeal was invalid.
Chinda had initiated the lawsuit in the Federal High Court, alleging that Wike had forged the statutory declaration of age he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission for the 2019 governorship election.
As the news spread, Nigerians turned their attention to a picture circulating on social media. One Twitter user, Ude, expressed his reaction by humorously attributing Wike's incorrectly buttoned suit to the effects of a 40-year-old whiskey. Ude's tweet, posted on his verified Twitter account, joked that Wike must have been so intoxicated that he couldn't even properly button his suit.
It seems that Nigerians are finding some lighthearted humor in the situation, using social media as a platform to share their playful reactions to the photo of Wike's misaligned suit buttons.
