The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh who is currently on trial for his role in the diversion of $2.1 billion arms funds, was recently reported to have attempted to eat a statement he had earlier written for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
He was on Friday, January 22, arraigned for destruction of evidence, and while the trial is yet to commence, popular fast-food company, Chicken Republic has taken advantage of the purported event.
Chicken Republic released a caricature advert online where the company delivers food to a jailed Metuh, asking him to eat their food instead of his words- an obvious swipe at him for allegedly tearing up his statement.
Mixed reactions have trailed the controversial ad, with some protesting against it, while others are praising the idea.
Peep the tweets below.
Chicken Republic is now trending. Bad publicity attempt gone wrong. Free publicity for the eatery.
I have been a strong advocate for #GetSense2016, seems the brand called Chicken Republic needs Sense desperately. Ask @kiki_mordi
I wanted to say that Chicken Republic is run by people with chicken brains, but I don't want to insult chickens... twitter.com/akaebube/statu…
I actually think the Chicken Republic ad is pretty funny and creative. People should relax, life is too short, jor! twitter.com/mimielaushi/st…
PDP peeps after seeing the Chicken Republic ad
Chicken Republic slandered your paper eating hero and ya angry. Ask yourself this basic question
Personally I think @PdpNigeria should be grateful to Chicken Republic 4 coming to the aid of their hungry spokesman
