Twitter users have blasted Iyin Aboyeji, co-founder of Flutterwave, a payment solution platform, for his insinuation in favor of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu.
Iyin had taken to LinkedIn to post that four US presidents – Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan – all suffer from Polio, Crohn’s, Addison’s, and Alzheimer’s diseases, respectively, implying that there is nothing wrong with electing candidates with chronic diseases to office.
Various media outlets have reported that the APC candidate is unfit to run due to alleged health complications.
Iyin assisted in the development and presentation of the APC candidate’s digital economy plan, which was met with mixed reactions on Twitter.
In several tweets monitored by QUEST TIMES, Nigerians pounced on the Tech entrepreneur, asserting he left the platform because he lacked the ability to logically defend Tinubu.

Damian (@BigChiefDamian) said “Great response by @Mrpossidez to ‘Small pockets of Genocide’. Bola Tinubu’s health is actually the least of his baggage. He has a character problem. He is a drug trafficker & money launderer. Anything that comes out of Iyin’s mouth that’s not related to Angel investing is trash.”
@movinglagosian said “On any other subject asides Angel Investing, Iyin Aboyeji is not the smartest in the room. He left twitter where he would be challenged to hide on LinkedIn but unfortunately for him, he was schooled by @Mrpossidez 👏🏾”
Dr Demilade (@MsFayemiwo) said “Iyin Aboyeji never ceases to amaze with his false equivalencies. Is this his way of advocating for a candidate who licked a microphone when he was asked to TEST it? I…”
