Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu has called out UK’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Catriona Laing for telling Nigerians to be proud of the presidential election, IGBERETV reports.
In a video she shared on Twitter, Aisha Yesufu recalled how Catriona said she was fascinated by the presidential election. She sarcastically “congratulated” the UK ambassador, adding that Nigerian politicians heard her loud and clear and killed more people in the just concluded governorship and house of assembly election.
Aisha Yesufu who decried the killings in the elections stated that Catriona is telling Nigerians to accept what can’t be accepted in her home country, UK. She said the UK ambassador must be proud of the election even though people are not harassed in her country during elections. Yesufu also alleged that developed countries want Africa to continue being down so they can always send handouts.
Yesufu captioned the video on her Twitter handle;
“#CongratulationsCatrionaTheyHeardYou and decided to give you more fascinating election
@CatrionaLaing1”
