Kunle Remi explained that instead of using the usual cheerful images or colourful designs, Nigerians should share visuals that reflect the pain of those affected by the attack.
He pointed to a widely circulated clip of a grieving woman who lost someone in the incident, saying that such images would serve as a more meaningful birthday message to the president.
“Hey guys, today is the birthday of the President, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Please, let’s wish him a happy birthday. There is an image or a video of a woman in pain, crying from the loss of someone. That is the image we should use.”
He emphasised that the disaster in Plateau state happened a few hours before the president’s birthday and urged people to use those pictures and videos as the only form of celebration.
“If you want to wish him a happy birthday, which I suggest we should actually wish our president a happy birthday, please use that video. There are images from it, there are videos, look online, you will see it. There was a woman in pain, 15 hours ago there was a disaster in Plateau State. That is the celebratory message we should use, please.”
