Ironically, Floyd Shivambu, the vice president of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, has stirred up a lot of controversy with his recent tweet, which apparently calls for an authoritarian regime in Nigeria. . On Saturday August 12, Shivambu took to Twitter to share his views on the Nigerian government and international relations. The tweet read: “How happy this clown president is to meet the French colonialist Macron. The veterans will help us because clearly and always the Nigerian voters always produce octogenarians who do not add value and are very Western.”

His speech raised eyebrows, both inside and outside politics, and sparked heated debate about the significance of his speech and its implications. The EFF vice president’s strong language and apparent call for military intervention drew attention to the recent political turmoil in Africa, particularly the series of coups that have rocked the continent, the last of which took place in Niger.
This tweet was in response to an online campaign saying that the Nigerian military has issued a warning about a plot to incite the military to overthrow President Tinubu. Although Shivambu did not support or openly support the overthrow of the government, the type of speech he chooses makes many people wonder about his motives and whether he condones such extreme actions.
The truth is that Shivambu’s speech could have wider implications for regional stability and international relations. Nigeria, as one of Africa’s largest economies and a prominent player on the global stage, plays an important role in the continent’s politics and economy.
Any attempt to disrupt his rule could have far-reaching consequences. Also, his statement shows a lack of respect for the Nigerian government and the democratic process, and the importance of his statement is questionable coming from a foreign political leader. However, its contentious content inspires us to engage in serious discussions about democracy, foreign influence, and the role of mass media in shaping public discourse.

The event is a reminder of the power and pitfalls of social media as a platform for political discourse and intervention, especially when it comes to sensitive issues that can have a major impact on the whole country.
