The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has sensationally revealed that reading verbal attacks on him in the social media came close to putting him through the medical condition of high blood pressure hence he stopped.
Tinubu further said he has been subjected to malicious abuses, which is why he ceased engaging with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, are the most used social media platforms in Nigeria.
He said this in a video posted on Twitter by one of his political allies, Ademola Oshodi.
In the footage, the former governor of Lagos State said he became furious whenever he had to read the things written about him on social media.
“I don’t read social media anymore; they abuse the hell out of me. If I read it, I get high blood pressure and angry.
“I don’t read it, so if I want to hear anything; my children or my workers will say this one said this, and when I’m tired, I say please forget it,” Tinubu said.
Following his emergence as the APC presidential candidate, Tinubu has been subjected to a lot of controversies.
He, however, dismissed the allegations, describing them as false and baseless.
