Ex-British Lawmaker Who Pronounced Buhari Dead Stirs New controversy
The controversy stirred by Eric Joyce over the alleged death of President Muhammdu Buhari has continued to set social media agog.
Joyce, an ex-British parliamentarian, took to social media a few days ago announcing that Nigeria’s president had passed on. It must be noted that the news was strongly labelled as fake and Joyce got some bashing. However the ex-parliamentarian has stirred yet another controversy.
In the early hours of Monday, May 22, Joyce taunted Nigerians with a question regarding the president’s health status. Below is the tweet with which Joyce stirred the new controversy.
Serious question for Nigerians. When was the last time you saw your president?
