Popular Nigerian blogger and social commentator, Japheth Omojuwa is at war with Lere Olayinka, an aide to the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose.
Omojuwa who actively campaigned against the Goodluck Jonathan led administration had tweeted that he could not see any young person in sight at the launch of the campaign set up by President Muhammadu Buhari. He had questioned in the tweet if Nigeria was a Geriatric Republic.
I was watching the news of the #ChangeBeginsWithMe launch. Not a single young person in sight. Is this a Geriatric Republic of Nigeria?

But instead of getting proper clarification, what he got was a bashing.
One of the first persons to reply him was Lere Olayinka.
“When you were campaigning for your ancestor to be president,it never occurred to you that he will relate with his mates?” Olayinka tweeted in reply.

Some other people answered him sarcastically, asking if he expected a different outcome from his support of the current administration before it kicked out the Goodluck Jonathan led administration.
Following Olayinka’s response to Omojuwa’s Friday tweet, Omojuwa tweeted a Sahara Reporters post on how scores were killed in Ekiti following up with more salvos.

But Olayinka only replied asking if people noticed that “SaiBuharists” now tweet about EPL.
“Has anyone noticed that most SaiBuharists now tweet English Premiership?” he said.
Omojuwa replied by calling him a retard then spilling some mud on his boss.
Retard. I have been tweeting the EPL since your days of calling your boss Ayo Fayose a murderer. I believed you. https://t.co/AeJGPdalXm
