A Muslim influencer and reformist Imam, Mohammad Tawhidi, popularly known as Imam of Peace, has tackled Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Tinubu.
Imam of Peace in a short tweet on his official handle congratulated Tinubu on winning the presidential poll on February 25th but told the former Lagos governor that he is already a dictator.
Imam of Peace wrote, “Congratulations Bola Tinubu, you’re already a dictator.”
Congratulations Bola Tinubu, you’re already a dictator.

It is not clear what informed the reformist Imam’s argument.
Major opposition candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) respectively have since rejected the outcome of the election. Videos and pictures from all sorts of electoral malpractice supposedly from the poll flooded social media.
Both Atiku and Obi have also since commenced legal redress of the poll.
There were allegations and reports of widespread rigging of the election by INEC to ensure that the former Lagos governor wins the polls.
Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that the Imam of Peace has also asked Nigerians to demand re-election of the February 25th presidential election.
