Twitter user links three top #EndSARS activists to Atiku

David Abdulrazak Atta, a Twitter user, has linked Modupe Odele, Rinu Oduala and Mr Macaroni, three top #EndSARS activists, to Atiku Abubakar, a former vice-president.

The trio are among prominent figures at the forefront of the #EndSARS protest aimed at ending police brutality and excesses of operatives of the now-disbanded special anti-robbery squad (SARS).

But in a Twitter thread on Sunday, Atta shared screenshots of past tweets made by the three individuals wherein they could be seen expressing their support or interest for Atiku.

He also accompanied his posts with terse comments wherein he questioned the credibility of the activists who claim to be championing the course for good governance in the country.

In one of the tweets, Rinu, one of the youth representatives on the Lagos state judicial panel of enquiry into police brutality, openly campaigned for the former vice-president.

“I still believe in Atiku. #Atikulated. AsoRock by May 2019,” she had written in the now-deleted tweet.

In another tweet, Mr Macaroni, a social media comedian, can be seen commending the former presidential candidate while also asking if he could send his account number.

“Fantanbulous! Your excellency, sir, I am thinking that I should send my account number. So you can freaky it up. #Youaredoingwell,” he had replied to a tweet by Atiku in February this year.

In the same vein, Odele, a member of the Feminist Coalition, whose passport was seized by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), also appeared to be rooting for Atiku in a 2014 tweet.

“Atiku’s campaign managers, I will like to meet them,” she had written.

Atiku was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2019 election where he lost to President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Okoroawusa:
In as much as I disagree with their roles during the#ENDSARS protests, I think they have every legitimate right to support whosoever they like politically.
Atiku is not an enemy of the state so he must definitely have supporters.
That's my honest submission on this case.

Golan007:


It is just a coincidence they all happen to be Atiku supporters?

Okoroawusa:

I am a Buhari supporter and I have had people judge me even when they don't know anything about me just on the basis of that.

For me I will call it a coincidence until a link between their support for Atiku and their#ENDSARS roles is presented.

If I judge them on the basis of who they support then I have become like them.

Golan007:


I agree.

Yet there's something rather curious about them actively trying to reach out to Atiku.

I think there's something deeper known thr within intelligence community concerning funding.

We'll keep watching..

AMINDA:
In addition, the so-called peaceful endsars protesters had a dedicated telegram group where they openly brandished weapons, covered up atrocities and threatened dissenting voices in a herd-like manner. I strongly believe this was where the fake pictures were manufactured and disseminated leading to the arson and anarchy in the land.
