‘You Didn’t Talk To Us When We Were Being Killed” Nigerians React To Buhari Speech

In President Muhammadu Buhari’s Live broadcast to Nigerians yesterday, he urged Nigerians to turn out en masse for Saturday’s elections.

While boasting about the achievements of the government, he asked people to make a wise choice during the election.

However, the broadcast has been received with mixed feelings. While his supporters hailed him, critics accused the president of using resources of the state for a free campaign.

Here are some reactions on Twitter:

It is understandable that we all want to live comfortable lives. It is also important to realize that the most comfortable thing we can all do is to work hard and live within our means. pic.twitter.com/sFXHMdDmsM

Think about it, Buhari didn't speak to you until few days to Election.
SARS Killing Nigerians he never said anything, Soldiers killed in North East, all he did was sent you a memo through Lie Mohammed. You have few hours to choose now. Think it twice! After Saturday??
4 years!!
