By Damilola A.

Nigerian singer, WizKid has replied to Special Assistant on Social Media to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, after she called him a “dumb kid”.

Okay.ng recalls that WizKid had attacked Buhari over outcry against the activities of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force.

WizKid in a tweet to Buhari urging him to address the killing of youths in Nigeria by SARS operatives described him as an “old man”.

Responding to him, Onochie called the singer a ‘dumb kid’ stating that it is disrespectful to call anyone old.

She said: “Its not disrespectful to call anyone old. Its the way and manner Ayo Balogun addressed the President that leaves a sour taste in the mouth. He exhibited crass ignorance, insensitivity and childishness. But hey, he’s a #DumbkidNotWhizKid. When he grows up, he might learn respect.”

Wizkid replying said that he was simply asking Buhari for good governance and age has nothing to do with it.

He responded: “Lol a 77-year-old man is not young ma. You are a woman and a mother and kids are getting killed by police/sars and this is all you have to say? shame on you!!! shame on you!! I am a father and age has nothing to do with demanding for better governance in my country!!”
