— UPDATE —
They are saying it is not Lis Smith behind the Nigerian account:
No, @Lis_Smith is NOT running a sockpuppet account pretending to be a Nigerian Pete Buttigieg supporter.
I spoke to the real man whose account got swept up in the false conspiracy: https://t.co/MRGuwg5NEY

Hey, this Chinedu person could totally be a legit Nigerian and fan of Pete Buttigieg BUUUUT it looks a teensy bit suspicious, to be honest.
David Klion is the one calling them out.

An interesting thing I just discovered is that Lis Smith used to tweet "y'all" a lot, much like this account does, but stopped after December 2017. I don't have a theory for why that would be, just putting it out there.

C’mon man, all Nigerians use ‘y’all’ all the time. It’s totally Nigerian slang.
Totally normal follows for a Nigerian account. (Pete was its first.) pic.twitter.com/LSfajPGyDc

Yeah, those are totally normal followers.
HA HA HA HA HA HA
This is nuts.
Admit it, watching the Democrat camps eating one another is pretty damn hilarious.

She’s trying, so hard.

She protected her account so you can’t see this tweet but it said something like, ‘Hi Pete. It’s Lis … ‘
Just sayin’.
hey Lis

Why lockdown if it’s not her?
Get your popcorn.
