Dr. Jeffrey Guterman, Retired Mental Health Counselor, has said, it is “a BIG FAIL by TIME Magazine” to have included 2023 Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress and Nigeria’s President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the List of 100 Most Influential People for 2023.

President-elect of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu |
Few days back TIME Magazine, an American news magazine released its list of 100 Most Influential People for 2023, and the former Governor of Lagos State, Tinubu, made the list.
Tinubu was named under the ‘LEADERS’ category.
Mr. Guterman went ahead to label TIME Magazine a “crap news publication”, encouraging his “fellow Obidients to stay strong”.
Dr. Jeffrey Guterman said: “This is a BIG FAIL by
@TIME
magazine: @astharajvanshi omitted that Tinubu was found by US to be a narcotics trafficker. Tinubu has been “influential” only because he destroyed countless lives by trafficking heroin and looting Nigeria.
“I am not disputing that Tinubu has been influential. My concern is that
@TIME
’s @astharajvanshi (who removed herself from my first tweet in this thread) failed to mention Tinubu’s heroin trafficking. She also dubiously claimed he’s 71 years old.
“I just wrote the following email letter to
@TIME
magazine.
“To my fellow Obidients: I’m disgusted after reading the article in
@TIME
magazine (see thread). I remember when TIME was a good news publication. As far as I’m concerned, TIME magazine is crap. I need to calm myself down because the anger I feel right now is intense. Stay strong.”
