A Twitter user: @Oserume1, has mocked Senator Shehu Sani after he (Sani) taunted President Muhammadu Buhari in a Twitter post.
Sani had said like the pigeons Buhari touched in 2021, the Super Eagles crashed after he held a video conference with the team.
The President spoke with the team on Sunday shortly before the match with Tunisia in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The ex-lawmaker insinuated that Buhari’s only miracle is his rice pyramid.
Sani tweeted: “He toucheth the pigeon, it refused to fly. He talketh to the Eagle, it refused to fly. Oh yea brethren, thy King in Egypt hath no miracles but pyramids.”
Recall that The Eagle Online reported that in January 2021, during the Armed Forces Remembrance Day ceremony, the doves, otherwise known as white pigeons, released by Buhari refused to fly despite multiple attempts by the President, thereby sparking a debate on social media.
This elicited reactions from Nigerians, some of whom described the incident as a “bad sign” but presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, had said the doves refused to fly because they had been kept captive for a while before the day.
The Eagles had won all their three matches at the group stage in the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, but lost to Tunisia on Sunday by a lone goal in the Round of 16.
Shortly before the game with Tunisia, Buhari held a video conference with Coach Austin Eguavoen from the Presidential Villa, Abuja, urging the team to “keep doing the country proud” but the Eagles were kicked out of the tournament hours later.
Replying to to Sani’s post, the Twitter user shared a throw back picture of the ex-lawmaker and the President, noting that Buhari is the reason he didn’t return to the Senate.
In the picture, Buhari raised the right hand of Sani who was smiling.
The Twitter user wrote: “He raised your hand and you failed to return to the Senate.”
