A disturbing comment attributed to Alilat A. Ademola, a vocal supporter of Tinubu, has triggered widespread outrage online after he allegedly threatened ethnic violence in the event that Tinubu loses the 2027 presidential election.
In a post originally shared on X (formerly Twitter), Alilat wrote:
“If Tinubu Loose 2027, we will kpai all Hausas and Igbos in Lagos. Just carry this on your mind.”
Although the post was swiftly deleted, screenshots have continued to circulate, fueling anger and calls for accountability.
The threat, interpreted by many as a call for ethnic cleansing, has sparked condemnation across social media, with users describing it as reckless, inciting, and dangerous, particularly in the current climate of insecurity and ethnic tension in Nigeria.
Reacting to the screenshot, X user @PivotOladimeji posted:
“@AlilatAdemola, either you’re brain dead or just too foolish to understand that you just put yourself in a whole lot of trouble with this threat of yours. You’ve got no idea… But you’d learn bitterly.”
Another user, @SArokwe, warned that the message should not be dismissed.
“This Alilat A Ademola, Tinubu supporters threaten to kpai Hausas and Igbos in Lagos must be taken seriously. If you are waiting for the police or EFCC arrest that will never happen. Tackle Tinubu from his Achilles’ heel. New Nigeria must emerge.”
The controversial post has not only sparked ethnic backlash but also drawn renewed criticism against Tinubu’s political base, with many linking the rhetoric to growing intolerance among his most extreme loyalists. Critics argue that such utterances should not be ignored, especially with general elections looming in 2027.
