The controversy stirred by Eric Joyce over the alleged death of President Muhammdu Buhari has continued to set social media agog.
Joyce, an ex-British parliamentarian, took to social media a few days ago announcing that Nigeria’s president had passed on. It must be noted that the news was strongly labelled as fake and Joyce got some bashing. However the ex-parliamentarian has stirred yet another controversy.
In the early hours of Monday, May 22, Joyce taunted Nigerians with a question regarding the president’s health status. Below is the tweet with which Joyce stirred the new controversy.
Serious question for Nigerians. When was the last time you saw your president?
