‘ASUU forgotten’, ‘Baba is angry with social media’, — reaction to Buhari’s broadcast

President Muhammadu Buhari addressed the country in a nationwide broadcast on Monday morning.

The address is Buhari’s first speech since returning from his 103-day medical vacation in the UK.

Among the things he talked about were Nigeria’s unity, national security as well as the insurgency in the north-east.

As usual, Nigerians on Twitter have made some critical, yet hilarious reactions concerning the president’s address.

These are some of the reactions:

Shortest broadcast ever. Straight to the point. I still question his health though. #PresidentialBroadcast

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

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

So this us what our Dear President could say to us after 103 days. Does he have good advisers and if he does, does he listen to them?
