Lady cries out as she got sack at work for celebrating Tinubu victory [video]
In a shocking turn of events, a Nigerian woman named Olanike Jimoh has been fired from her job for expressing support for the newly-elected President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Despite being known for his political prowess, Tinubu's victory has been met with mixed reactions from Nigerians, with many expressing disappointment that popular presidential candidate Peter Obi did not win.
Olanike, a staunch supporter of Tinubu, shared her joy at his victory on her Twitter page, only to be met with harsh consequences from her employer, Trade Pot Investment Limited. The company, owned by Onyekachi Izukanne, Michael Ukpong, and Ruke Awaritefe, is one of the largest drink sellers in Nigeria. They claimed that Olanike was let go due to poor performance, but it has been proven that she was among their best staff.
This incident has raised concerns about the state of freedom of expression in Nigeria, as well as the power of political affiliations in the workplace. It is a reminder that individuals should be able to express their opinions and support for political candidates without fear of retribution, especially in a democratic society.
It is important for companies to prioritize employee rights and not allow political affiliations to interfere with job security. Additionally, it is crucial for individuals to be aware of their rights and to advocate for themselves when faced with unjust treatment.
