See reactions below:
@Ismaeeelmuhd: She wanted to be deputy governor as a side hustle. You need to put some skin in the game if you want success.

@reosky10: She did the right thing She wanted to serve the people, since she was not elected to serve it’s not a crime to continue her usual life… No be do or die affair, na thieves dae see am like do or die.

@larryumolo: Yes, I don’t blame her, because politics, especially the Nigerian version of it is extremely dirty and evil. Let us not even mention the Lagos version of it.

@MbamaliVin: Now that we cannot remove bad leaders through the ballot and they don’t resign, now that the military and police supervise violence and thuggery during election, now that the judiciary always endorse these election criminalities, WHAT IS NEXT?
