Just like the 2013 ‘Oga at the top’ video, this video trended on social media, as Nigerians criticized the minister for his error.
They did not waste time combining the video with different memes.
Unable to stand the heat and criticisms on social media, Dalung went private on Twitter, shutting people off his mentions.
Veteran Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw has joined the list of those who are surprised that a minister, who President Muhammadu Buhari took six months to appoint, could make such national blunder.
