Popular Instagram blogger, Tunde Ednut, is currently trending across Nigerian social media platforms after posting a series of mockery updates allegedly exposing the WAEC result of Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo. The posts, which have gone viral, have triggered widespread reactions, with many Nigerians questioning the academic credentials and competence of the state’s number one citizen.
In a series of Instagram posts on Sunday and today, the Kogi state born blogger who now resides in the United States of America, shared what he claimed to be Governor Okpebholo’s West African Examination Council (WAEC) result, describing the grades as embarrassing and unbefitting of a state leader.
The celebrity blogger accompanied the posts with sarcastic captions and reels, further mocking the governor’s academic record. The posts have since attracted thousands of comments, with many Nigerians expressing shock and dismay, while others shared humorous reactions.
The development has also drawn the attention of other social media influencers, including outspoken activist Verydarkman, who referenced the viral result while criticizing Okpebholo’s leadership style.
Verydarkman, in a separate video, claimed he had been warned not to return to Edo State after his earlier comments against the governor. VDM as he is popularly called, dared the governor’s associates, noting that he is “full fleshed Edo boy” and no one can keep him away from the state. He added that no one is more Nigerian than the other, so these current trend of permissions and threats of staying away from Edo state, must stop.
The issue has further polarized public opinion, especially given recent comments by Governor Okpebholo where he said opposition politicians like Peter Obi must seek his permission to enter Edo State. As of press time, there has been no official response from the governor or his aides regarding the authenticity of the WAEC result making rounds on social media.
