Nigerians have reacted with mixed feelings to President Muhammadu Buhari’s address to the nation on Monday, two days after he returned from medical vacation in the UK.
The speech which did not last up to 10 minutes, addressed issues majorly bordering on security and also the wrong use of social media in spreading fake news.
Some of the reactions on Twitter were positive, with some users happy with Buhari’s return after over 100 days away.
Others were furious with the brevity of the speech and were left uninspired.
Here are some of them:
Buhari sounded like he’s angry with the social media forgetting that the social media brought him to power— Ghost 👽👽 (@IkhaloOmo) August 21, 2017

A speech once in 3 months wont stop the hate speeches, neither can it keep Nigeria united. We deserve more than this! #PresidentialBroadcast— FAVOUR ONYEOZIRI (@Rouvafe) August 21, 2017

#PresidentialBroadcast Buhari and Ojukwu alone can not decide the fate of 180 million Nigerians. Nigeria is negotiable.— adumike emmanuel (@emmanuel9396) August 21, 2017

Let's be clear. The #PresidentialBroadcast wasn't to address important issues about governance. It was a warning to critics and agitators— YOu SiP_RAiN (@WeSmokeCLouds) August 21, 2017
