Nigerians React To President Muhammadu Buhari’s Democracy Day Speech

The much-anticipated 2019 democracy day speech has been delivered by President Muhammadu Buhari. 

Naija News recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari failed to deliver a speech on May 29th after he was sworn in for a second term in office.

The President touched on electricity, security, infrastructure, job, and many other issues that affect Nigerians.

The President in his speech also honoured the late winner of the June 12, 1993, presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola, naming the National Stadium in Abuja after him.

“This administration will consolidate on the successes of the last four years. In the last four years, we have made tremendous progress in addressing challenges in the country.”

Meanwhile, here are the reactions of Nigerians as follows:

@BashirAhmaad H.E rather said: "Ladies and gentlemen, despite the challenges over the last four years, my optimism about Nigeria's future is unshakable." This is the correct quote. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

But I thought @OfficialPDPNig has never done anything in the 16 years of her reigns, how come the Stadium built by a PDP government is now worthy of being christened after the Hero of Democracy by @APCUKingdom @APCNigeria . Just thinking out loud….

Good job from @MBuhari I think the president should've nominates his minsters during his speech, by so doing telling the masses @MBuhari want to hit the found running.

As for me what IBB did that time was right. How can you pronounce urself as president or winner before the commission that has the power and moreover the west has their interest in abiole

The analysis of the June 12, 2019 Inaugural Democracy Day Presidential Speech should start coming in please. The only thing I’ve heard so far is the “we are going to better the lives of our people.” Me I want a better life. How did he say he would achieve that? #democracyday

The much awaited June 12 Democracy day speech that we had to give up May 29th speech for, had better be nothing short of excellent.
We wait #DemocracyDay
