#Presidentialbroadcast: Nigerians react to President Buhari”s broadcast

Nigerians have taken to the social media to react to President Muhammadu Buhari’s national broadcast on major issues in the country, Monday morning.

The hashtag is presently trending on the twitter with most Nigerians expressing fears of an imminent control of the social media by the government.

Some also reiterated the president’s stance on a united Nigeria.

Below are some of the comments:

 

Buhari sounded like he’s angry with the social media forgetting that the social media brought him to power

2 things were clear in d . 1. They want to control Social Media so bad. 2. They refer to criticism as hate speech

Buhari Just shutdown the Biafra Agitation. .

 

2

What about addressing ASSU and other pressing needs, so students sitting at home is less important than social media

I was hurrying to come sit and watch the baba give speech, only to be told the meeting is over

A speech once in 3 months wont stop the hate speeches, neither can it keep Nigeria united. We deserve more than this!

Very unimpressive disjointed speech!!! pre-recorded &heavily edited! 6 minutes speech to explain 105 days absence!!!!

Buhari and Ojukwu alone can not decide the fate of 180 million Nigerians. Nigeria is negotiable.

1

Let’s be clear. The wasn’t to address important issues about governance. It was a warning to critics and agitators

2

Baba’s speech lasted for 5minutes addressing *one Nigeria* and *fight against corruption* then *he’s glad to be home*

2

Social media crackdown imminent

 

You Heard the Man….Nigerias Unity is Non-Negotiable …So all those Ultimatum Landlords and Nnamdi…Be afraid …

2

kept it short and simple yet one message was clear: govt will go tough on those that foment trouble.

FACT: PMB is VERY much popular with the masses FACT: PMB has consistently failed to yield to people’s Aspirations.

2

Indeed the President is Hale and Hearty….Very Coherent….and Firm….

2

The national consensus is to live together than to live apart. Rs Buhari. .

criticizing social media already…
