Twitter on fire after American man address Nigeria’s Minister as ‘Mr Mugu
The micro-blogging site, Twitter was on fire after a retired mental health expert addressed the minister of state for labour and employment, Festus Keyamo, as Mr Mugu.
Mugu is described by Wiktionary as a derogatory Nigerian slang which refers to a victim of an online scam.
While both Jeffrey Guterman and Keyamo have been quite vocal on NG politics Twitter, their exchange of words elicited several reactions from Nigerians bringing Mr Mugu to the trend table of the micro-blogging site.
The altercation between both men started after Keyamo shared a story link from the Cable on the minister’s claim that the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party was playing an ethnic card ahead of the polls.
In the story shared by Keyamo, he accused Obi of playing the victim of an ethnic agenda in order to garner votes from the electorates at the poll.
However, Guterman who has been a strong supporter of Obi – even from the United States of America – lashed out at Keyamo saying: “Shame on you, @fkeyamo ~ #Jeffrey4Obi.”
To this Keyamo responded by alleging that Guterman is a hired online machinery without a viable Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) that could enable him to cast a vote in Nigeria.
His words: “Mr. Man @JeffreyGuterman, as a hired online mercenary without a Nigerian Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC), may I suggest you stay away from our local politics?
