A man went viral on social media after protesting against the upcoming swearing-in of president-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu set to hold on May 29, 2023.

The unknown man was videoed in a local flight from Abuja bound for Lagos shouting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate did not win the February 25, 2023, elections.

The Nigerian man, who is suspected to be Peter Obi’s supporter, was shouting, “Tinubu can not be sworn in as president.”

People on board in the flight were not comfortable travelling with the man so they asked for him to be taken off the plane.

There was a voice of a woman in the background saying: “You need to leave the plane, you’re a security threat, you need to leave.”

The flight was delayed for about an hour before security at the airport whisked the man who claimed to have a PhD away from the plane.

“Obidients, you’re here, I am naked”.
