The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu celebrated Lionel Messi after Argentina beat France to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The World Cup final between Argentina and France was played at the Lusali Stadium in Doha, the capital of Qatar.
Argentina defeated France on penalties to win the FIFA World Cup at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday.
Tinubu took to his Twitter page to post a photoshopped photo of Messi wearing his signature cap with the caption that reads, “Emi lo kan of Doha”

Tinubu u can see Messi plans not to participate in the World Cup after this, cos he's getting old; He knows the younger ones are more qualified for the job next time. That's something worth emulating. Apply this philosophy in politics, u are contesting but u are n¤t fit to rule.

Here's the real explanation:
1. France (the defending champion) = APC (the ruling or incumbent party)
2. Argentina = LP (the people's choice)
3. Messi = Peter Obi
