Definitely in Top 5 dumbest moves by any government in history.

Gov has no way of enforcing this and will end up backtracking with egg on their faces.@MBuhari will be remembered for wrecking economy, failing on security, shooting #EndSARS protesters and this idiotic attempt. https://t.co/21GuL98Rof

Though a UK citizen, Dr. Adekoya is half-Nigerian (father Nigerian, mother Polish) and spent a lot of his youth there, posts on Nigerian issues and history often, and the Nigerian internet community thinks a lot of what he has to say.

interesting going after the African immigrant vote in NYC, I think:

Today, standing outside the Consulate General of Nigeria, I was honored to be joined by 50+ Nigerian supporters & community leaders as I humbly accepted their endorsement! Our coalition is growing stronger by the day, & I'm so proud to have the most diverse movement in this race. pic.twitter.com/FaeeMWMl5s
