Following his plea, social media users reacted differently. Some commented him on his plea, while others slammed him for begging, stating that it wont yield any results.
Some others couldn’t resist but drag Yul’s marital issues into the matter.
Here are some reactions gathered by The Quest Times
@Awoyelu Very good coming from you. Am in.
@mysterypositive This guy just likes to be in the news…
@IUnetebukane We beg you to bring back your First Wife (May Yul Edochie) you ignored us now you’re begging Tinubu who is married to one wife. Please Yul Edochie can you asked Judy to leave the house for May?
@sammyalfred7 Even Nnamdi Kanu won’t beg Tinubu like this to be freed. Stop being weak, Organize your people, Force your representative in the South East to demand Kanu release in the house. This begging won’t work
@_MrChima Sir, The man of the people. An inspirational to a generation. A son of the soil. Please can you explain why the release of Nnamdi Kanu is the major priority for you amongst the many socio and infrastructural plights plaguing our region.
