Less than 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari was announced as president-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the All Progressives Congress (APC) set up a poll asking Nigerians what they want the government to improve on in the next four years.
Buhari won his reelection after polling 15,191,847 to defeat his closest rival, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who got 11,262,968 votes.
On its official Twitter handle, the APC asked Nigerians to make suggestions ranging from economy, security infrastructure to fight against corruption.
“Now that President @MBuhari has been reelected, what would you suggest he should do better or give more attention? You might want to add yours using hashtag #BuhariShould, for easy tracking,” the tweet read.

Some people have commended the gesture while others have waved it off as mere propaganda.
Below are some of the responses

#BuhariShould
Also the dollar rate is too high. The police and armed govt officials harass the youths alot and make threats to kill with their guns..They are meant to protect us, whats the point if we get scared of them, we should feel safe.
This should be attended to

Oh Lord! #BuhariShould not have gone for a second tenure. Oh well he's here already so… #BuhariShould do right by Nigerians and listen to our wailing.
No more one sided corruption fighting- charity begins at home. He should start from his house as also it's his very last chance— Zoanny😍💎 (@naija_efya) February 27, 2019
#BuhariShould reshuffle his cabinet please!!!

#BuhariShould ensure state Governors give enough power to the local governments; and then FG monitors them for corruption. They are the closest to the people & can effectively ensure grassroots growth. These current governors are distracted & greedy for self popularity and gain.

If he falls sick like his first tenure, he should honourably resign and let people who can deliver his promises do the job #BuhariShould
— Basil_eblaze 🕊️💜 (@paperboy_Eblaze) February 27, 2019
Don’t ask Nigerians what they “ think or feel” Buhari should do better…!!! He @MBuhari has a reason for contesting the second time. Let him deliver on that mission. He has been given that opportunity the second time don’t ask Nigerians nonsense questions please #Buharishould
