Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo Olu, on Thursday, came under fire on Twitter after posting a congratulatory message to Flutterwave founder on his Twitter handle.
Some users of the microblogging platform criticized the governor, citing his administration’s policy as being responsible for the exit of Gokada, Opay, and MaxNG from the Nigeria transportation service business.
Flutterwave recently raised a Series C of $170 million to improve its technology, product, customer support and expansion into new frontiers.
