Even more, the assertions of the activists had been extended to the judiciary with the political activists adding the Justices to the curse they have been laying on Mahmood Yakubu.

However, political opponents on the other divide have countered with the trend of Obidients to mock the political opposition laying curse on Mahmood Yakubu.

The declaration comes exactly one year after the 2023 general election, which saw President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ascend to the presidency.

Many netizens took to social media to express their frustrations, blaming the INEC chairman, Manhood Yakubu, for alleged manipulation of the election results.

According to online commentators, Yakubu’s actions during the election are perceived as having contributed to the current economic hardships facing Nigerians, the depreciation of the Naira against the Dollar and the skyrocketing prices of goods and commodities are cited as evidence of the alleged electoral manipulation.The sentiment on social media reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the perceived outcome of the election, with many Nigerians attributing their economic woes to the leadership that emerged from it.

However, political opponents on the other divide have countered with the trend Obidients to mock the political opposition laying curse on Mahmood Yakubu.

Mahmood Yakubu,

As you denied Nigerians their choice on February 25, May Allah deny you Jannah.

May sickness money can’t cure, visit you.

May the calamity & hunger you foisted on Nigerians visit your entire family to the 7th generation, & remain permanently. pic.twitter.com/5x5q8ApxeK
