Nigerians react....
Some Nigerians have been reacting to the viral video.
Shina Balogun wrote on Twitter:
“I live here in the US, you can’t just walk up to any individual in a restaurant and start recording him. It is wrong. An African American or a white guy holding gun would have shot him. Aregbesola should sue him.”
Olusegun Iselaiye wrote:
“This is for those of you saying Aregbesola should sue Koiki Media to court for recording him. May I remind you that recording is allowed in a pub. He will lose the case and even pay damages if he goes to court on this matter. US laws allow pub recording of anyone! Go verify.”
Dr Pat Ashinze wrote:
“The man that made the viral, unconsenting video of Aregbesola in the US is a full-fledged idiot. It was an infringement of Aregbesola's privacy and human right.
“Forget the angst and hate we all have towards APC and the ruling class. Aregbesola did not deserve such humiliation!”
Aregbesola reacts as APC's Oyetola loses Osun governorship election
The minister had earlier reacted to the recent defeat of his archrival and successor in the just concluded Osun governorship election, Gboyega Oyetola.
In a Facebook minister, the minister quoted a Bible verse saying God rules in the affairs of men.
Interestingly, the minister deleted the post later and claimed it was not authorised by him.
