"My friend Kayode locked his timeline, restricting comments after thanking President Tinubu for his ambassadorial appointment.... @realFFK this isn't fear nah."
@JohnEzeakolam reacted:
"Being sympathisers with terrorists and bandits is no longer enough for the Nigerian government; they have begun exporting criminals abroad. Behold, the newly appointed Nigerian ambassadors - @renoomokri and @realFFK, to name but a few!"
@tweetnwosu added:
"What if Tinubu wants to give @renoomokri and @realFFK the @elrufai treatment by offloading them to the floor of the Senate?"
@anointingfire89 stated:
"But sir @realFFK, why did you lock the comment section? Don't you want us to congratulate you and wish you well?"
