Nigerians on Twitter are calling out for the boycott of The Platform and Nigeria Leadership Series because the governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai is part of the speakers.
The flyers for the programs circulated on Twitter on Thursday with the hashtags #BoycottThePlatform #BoycottELrufai, calling out for El-Rufai to be remove as a speaker from both programs.
This is the guy they are inviting to #ThePlatform?
Tomorrow, they’ll say “he was a teenager when he composed this tweet”.

The organisers of the programmes haven’t posted anything in regards to his removal yet. Nigeria Leadership Series is set to hold today by 5pm, while The platform will be holding on the 1st of May, 2021.
Dear @pastorpoju, we are annoyed and disgusted! We are insulted, that you would bring an ethnic jingoist into such a prestigious gathering. Especially one who has slandered the Christian faith.
We will have NOTHING to do with you till the evil man is gone. #BoycottThePlatform
