Nigerians on and offline have blasted former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba following his call for the country to immortalize Queen Elizabeth II by renaming the University of Nigeria, Nsukka after the deceased monarch.

After the Queen’s demise, many Nigerians and the world at large have continued to pay tribute to the longest serving monarch.

However, reacting to her death via a post shared on Twitter, Adamu Garba said Nigeria should immortalize the Queen by renaming it first University in Nsukka to honour her.

According to him, if he was opportune to be the President of Nigeria, he would declare three days of national mourning for the death of the Queen.

He added that the Queen’s ability to stay on the throne for seven decades can only be the work of God and Grace.

Adamu Garba wrote: “Immortalizing Queen Elizabeth by renaming the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in her honour would’ve been an easier deal if I were communicating with our grandparents. Fortunately, they knew her worth.

“Age is a grace, & 7 decades on the Throne can only be the work of God and Grace.
If I’m the President of Nigeria today, I’ll declare 3 days of National Mourning for the death of The Queen Elizabeth II of England.

“Those of you that went to UNN, Nsukka, get ready to redo your CVs. Hopefully, your former school will be renamed to Queen Elizabeth University of Nigeria. I congratulate you on this remarkable progress,” he said.

The tweet by Adamu Garba has been trailed with massive backlash as many Nigerians told him to build his own school and name it after the late Queen.

poshkids.thriftstore: “Always misbehaving. You can change your own name to Queen Elizabeth to immortalize her nah…abi how”

jenny_presy: “It’s the fact that he thinks he owns Nigeria for me…the nerve”

omololad____ : “This one will just type nonsense every 5business days”

imightbeusman: “God please now… What’s all these now???? Why would someone ever think of renaming anything after a “colonizer” What’s wrong with our people now. This is someone that doesn’t even want you to live a free life and you’re still thinking of celebrating her.”

_deagram: “This man just decided not to make sense with whatever he said up there. Ex presidential aspirant indeed.”

iamshadk101: “Abeg shift, how many of our former great leaders them done immortalise for England.”
