Who just heard the governor's speech?
That question landed on Twitter like a thunderclap.
The tweet came from @YorubaDefender, a verified account belonging to a well-known Yoruba nationalist influencer with nearly two million followers. Within seconds, it was quoted, retweeted, screenshotted, and reinterpreted. But it was the thread underneath that set the fire ablaze.
"The governor has just DENIED all allegations regarding the land sales to foreign interests. He called it a coordinated smear campaign—an attack on our great city of Lagos, on our development, on our sovereignty as a people. He said these were malicious lies meant to tear us apart, to cast shadows on his leadership and the glory of our state.
But then… who are the attackers?
Who are those who whispered these lies? Who are those who question the integrity of this administration without proof, who stir chaos where there should be unity?
