- A Nigerian journalist, Fisayo Soyombo, has criticized the supporters of Tinubu over his workout video.
- He described them as “eight-second men.”
Sharing the video to dispel rumors of his death and withdrawal from the upcoming presidential election, Tinubu ignited a controversy.
Reacting to the video, Fisayo labeled the men endorsing it as “eight-second men,” suggesting that more information can be obtained from their wives.
Fisayo Soyombo, the journalist who gained prominence in the Nigerian media space after infiltrating a police cell as a suspect for five days, has commented on the controversial workout video of All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Fisayo stated:
“Many of the men endorsing that workout video are eight-second men. Just ask their wives.”
He also expressed the view that if one has to release a workout video to prove their health, it indicates something is amiss.
Fisayo wrote:
“If you really have to publicly release a video of yourself working out to prove your strength and health, then something is definitely not right. Like, why try so hard?”
When a follower accused him of being partisan, Fisayo responded by implying that the accusation was coming from individuals benefiting from the All Progressives Congress.
The journalist also revealed that the ruling party had previously attempted to sway him but failed.
Fisayo responded:
“You mean neutrality is keeping quiet while the old, frail, and greedy attempt to capture power for their selfish agenda?
“Your comment shows you’re only benefiting from the APC’s policies. Go ask your bosses dining at the party’s table; they’ll tell you they tried to get me in the past but they failed. Not all of us will sell our conscience for a pot of porridge.”
