Former vice president Atiku Abubakar emerged as one of the most searched people in Nigeria on Google in 2018.
The former VP, who is also the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), made the list with Alexis Sanchez coming first, Meghan Markel, Stan Lee, Philippe Coutinho, Late OAP, Tosyn Bucknor among others.
Reacting to the report, Senator Ben Murray Bruce, took to Twitter to mock president Muhammadu Buhari, who “controls all government owned agency in Nigeria” but failed to make the list.
The senator said the president’s unpopularity, is the reason he has refused to sign the 2018 Electoral Amendment Bill, because rigging is his only option.
He wrote:
Muhammadu Buhari, a sitting Nigerian President who controls all government owned media, does not even feature in the top 10 Google searches in Nigeria.
Atiku Abubakar is the most searched politician in Nigeria. No wonder Buhari does want to #SigntheElectoralAct. Rigging is his ONLY option!
