Social media users descend on Ogun Gov, Abiodun, for calling Nigerians sore losers

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has incurred the wrath of Netizens for calling Nigerians ‘sore losers’ in his reaction to the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest that shut down several cities yesterday.
Abiodun got into the bad books of Nigerians during an interview session on Channels Television on Friday when he made the comment, which many felt was like running salt into the injuries of the masses who were not happy with the hardship they had been made to go through under the President Bola Tinubu administration.
While responding to a question on the necessity for the nationwide protests, Abiodun said:
“The problem we have today is that Nigerians are sore losers. Rather than accept that If you want a regime change, wait till 2027.
“Don’t begin to sponsor faceless, leaderless protests under the guise that you are dissatisfied. The current realities are not peculiar to Nigeria alone.”

The comments drew a lot of angry responses from many Nigerians who took to X to berate him.
Read some of the comments below:
“Dapo Abiodun, a sitting Governor who lived large on tax payers money for 4 years without any significant achievement in Ogun State and was rewarded with another 4years called Nigerians “sore losers” on a live television.

“How can a sitting governor label Nigerians as Sore losers on National TV? The APC has been in power for 9 years, if the party is still grappling with the economy then the APC doesn’t deserve 3 more years, Nigerians want a leader whose solutions trickle down to the masses.”

“The saddest thing is that in 2027, some Nigeria’s will still vote and fight that APC should win. 2027, if we are serious… We should have total change of government. But it is not the country we are, wait and see.”

“The guts to call Nigerians sore losers. Last time, they said we should wait for the election, and we waited. They rigged it. We complained, and they say we should go to court, and we went they rigged and destroyed our constitution. Now, they couldn’t deliver good governance with the power they stole and ran with. We are protesting. They are now calling us sore losers and said we should wait for another 2027 so that they will rig it and tell us to wait for 2031. No. #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria.”
