A cross section of Nigerians on Monday took to Twitter to express their mixed feelings over the current state of the nation under President Buhari barely one year since he was elected.
Nigerians, obviously angry with Buhari’s government protested with the hashtag #WhereisTheChange.
While some Nigerians lamented the state of the nation under the current leadership, a few others called for patience, pointing that nine months is too early to judge the administration.
Some of the issues which topped the reactions border on the resurgence of fuel scarcity in parts of the country; the recent killings in four villages of Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State, as a result of the clash between local farmers and Fulani herdsmen; the dramatic U-turn by President Muhammadu Buhari, in Qatar, where he stated that the vulnerable unemployed youths should not expect the N5, 000 welfare package, promised by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), during the last presidential election campaigns, as well as the current economic crisis rocking the nation.
Amongst other issues that were outlined on the hashtag that trended since Monday afternoon included alleged rampant foreign trip by the president, the inflationary cost of consumers’ products; the current erratic power supply across the country, among other issues.
Some of the reactions expressed were thought-provoking while others were hilarious as they were expressed in internet memes.
Here are some of them.
All I can say is in 2019 choose leaders who have vision. We lack visionary leadership that's why we are still here #WhereIsTheChange
