Yoruba Party in The UK Trolled on Social Media

 A political party named The Yoruba Party founded by a Nigerian in the UK, Olusola Oni, who was also the sole candidate of the party who aimed to represent the Peckham constituency, has been trolled by other Nigerians resident in the UK following the candidate and party's dismal loss at the polls. Nigerians harshly  lampooned the party's founder, Olusola Oni, for carrying over bigotry and tribalism from Nigeria to the diaspora. They reminded him that The UK had a working system that was not groomed on tribal or cultural sentiments.
