Where Is “Emilokan”? Nigerians Demand Tinubu’s Whereabout As He Continues To Avoid Major Public Events

Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has become a major discussion on twitter following his continuous absence from public events that matter to his presidential ambition and APC in general.

Emilokan, which means ‘it is my turn’ in Yoruba has been used to mock the APC candidate since he argued that it was his turn to be president while speaking at an event in Abeokuta some months ago.

Tinubu’s whereabouts is becoming the subject of speculations with some alleging that he travelled to London.

Adams Oshiomhole, former APC national chairman had on Tuesday said he didn’t know where the former Lagos governor was when asked by a Channels TV anchor, Seun Okinbaloye.

Tinubu was not seen anywhere in the country on Wednesday when presidential candidates officially flagged off their campaigns.

He was also missing when candidates signed peace accord in Abuja on Thursday.

Last month, the former governor of Lagos was conspicuously missing at the NBA annual conference where he was represented by his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.

The trend which is a follow up to ‘Where is Tinubu?” that began to trend earlier on Thursday, has garnered thousands of tweets as of the time of filing this report.

Popular activist, Aisha Yesufu tweeted, “My stance has never wavered and I pray to God it doesn’t. I am interested in Nigeria not the leaders. They are there to serve us. Where is Tinubu is trending. Same question I asked seven years ago of their then presidential candidate.”

Penking said, “This is exactly how Buhari played hide and seek with us before the election until he won and ghosted all of us. Tinubu is planning to play the same card but Nigerians know better now. Election has commenced. Where is Tinubu?”

“We started asking ‘Where is Buhari?’ after he was elected. We are now asking ‘Where is Tinubu?’ even before election. Affliction shall not rise the second time,” Darlington tweeted.
