Time’s Reporter Astha Rajvanshi Criticized for Describing Bola Tinubu as Influential

Astha Rajvanshi, a reporter for Time, has been facing criticism for including Bola Tinubu, the president-elect of Nigeria, in the magazine’s 100 most influential people issue for 2023.

Rajvanshi described Tinubu as a “longtime political power broker” who is aware of the challenges facing Nigeria.

However, several Nigerians, particularly supporters of Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), known as Obidients, criticized Rajvanshi for allegedly laundering Tinubu’s image. The journalist was subjected to intense criticism on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram causing her to put her Twitter account under lock.

Tinubu won the presidential election with 8,794,726 votes, while Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had 6,984,520 votes to come second, and Peter Obi placed third with 6,101,533 votes. Obi and Atiku challenged the result in court, alleging irregularities by the electoral commission.

However, on April 11, INEC asked the presidential election petition tribunal to dismiss a petition filed by the LP and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi. The commission argued that the grounds of the petition are vague and prayed the court to either “dismiss or strike it out for being grossly incompetent, abusive, vague, nebulous, generic, general, non-specific, ambiguous, equivocal, hypothetical and academic”.
