Some people have positively risen to the limelight after recreating famous iconic scenarios, but for this young Nigerian man, it backfired.

The young man tried to recreate an iconic photo which went viral during one of the campaign rallies of presidential aspirant, Peter Obi.

A boy named Yusuf jumped to the front of Peter Obi’s campaign van and a photographer was smart enough to capture the moment.

The photo trended massively online and the young boy subsequently received cash gifts and recognition from kind-hearted Nigerians.

However, in a recent post, a Twitter user named @drpenking shared a video of Tinubu’s supporter trying to copy the move.

Unfortunately, he did not receive the same accolades as his other compatriot.

While standing in front of the campaign bus with his hands lifted, a security agent jumped down from the car and pushed him out of the way.

There was little to no reaction from the presidential aspirant, Asiwaju Tinubu, towards his act.

Drpenking shared the video with the caption:

“He was trying trying to recreate the Obidients moment? He was flung like a roasted corn! Vote Peter Obi”

“In as much as I find the video funny, I find this particular picture disturbing. This is a child that is suffering because of the system of government in Nigeria. I feel sad just looking at the picture and see how handsome this boy is. I hope God sends a helper his way Amen.”

They all look so disinterested & alienated from those screaming “emi lo corn”.

“Forget about the boy first, who else saw how Tinubu was waving?”
