However, this generated mixed reactions as some people claimed her post was a slap on President Tinubu, for her to recognize and share photos with the other Presidents without prioritizing and posting the one with the president of her birth country.

As usual, they have zilch to say except abuse her for being Igbo. In fact, I’d have been worried if they could elevate the convo to d level of principles.”
