Femi Fani-Kayode, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserted that Times Magazine journalist Astha Rajvashi had shut her Twitter account as a result of hateful remarks from Peter Obi backers.
Newsmen recalls that in its 2023 issue, Times Magazine selected Bola Tinubu as one of the 100 most influential individuals in the world.
“Winning an election in Africa’s most populous country is no easy feat,” the magazine claims. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the recently elected president of Nigeria, has had over 20 years to prepare.

“Called Jagaban, or ‘leader of the warriors’, by his supporters, the now 71-year-old ran in a presidential election for the first time this March.
“His campaign slogan, ‘It’s my turn’, was a nod to his role as a longtime political power broker. Tinubu helped restore the country’s democracy in 1999 after fighting military rule and then served two consecutive terms as governor of Lagos.
“But Tinubu’s win with the ruling All Progressives Congress party came in a fraught election and by a slim margin over Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.”
Fani-Kayode said that Rajvashi had locked her account after being trolled by the Obidient movement on his Twitter account on Friday.

He wrote, “Simply for listing Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as being amongst the top 100 most powerful people in the world, TIME magazine’s Astha has had to lock her Twitter account because of the hate speech and trolling that the followers of Peter Obi have subjected to her.”
