“Emi Lo Kan of Doha,” it’s my turn, Messi
The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has dubbed Lionel Messi as the “Emi Lo Kan of Doha” after Argentina’s world cup victory.
In a historically significant World Cup final on Sunday in Doha, Qatar, Messi’s Argentina team prevailed.
The match ended 3-3 after 120 minutes of playing.
Argentina went ahead to subdue France in the penalty shootout that followed.
This is Argentina’s first World Cup in 36 years.
Asiwaju Tinubu took to his Twitter page and posted an edited picture of Messi in the signature regalia of the former governor of Lagos State.
The image was captioned “Emi Lo Kan of Doha”.
‘Emi l’okan’ in the Yoruba language translates as ‘it is my turn’.
It became a part of the political lexicon of Nigeria after Asiwaju Tinubu said it in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, ahead of the presidential primaries of the APC.
But the tweet has continued to elicit flurry of reactions from social media users.
