The All Progressives Congress (APC) has come under heavy fire on Twitter as some Nigerians reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s endorsement of the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Buhari had on Saturday, during the party’s campaign rally in Lafia, Nasarawa State, endorsed Tinubu for president.
He said, “Today in Lafia, Nasarawa State, I delivered my message: VOTE Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next President of Nigeria, and VOTE Governor Abdullahi Sule for a 2nd term!
“I have known Asiwaju for more than 20 years; he is a committed Nigerian; he will give his best to Nigeria!”
However, some Nigerians were displeased with the president’s comments and took to social media to express their anger using the hashtag #SayNoToAPC.
Here are some of the reactions gathered by The Quest Times;
@SavvyRinu said, “Has Tinubu visited any television station or radio station in this country to talk about his ideas?
“No fuel in one of the largest oil producing nations in the world, yet APC is still campaigning few days to the elections.
“Boko Haram has destroyed Maiduguri and this insecurity started when Shettima was governor. Now, he is coming to say he has something to offer? He is a liar”.
@GbemiDennis said, “Rinu Oduala’s reasons for the choice of Peter Obi is precise, can you fault it based on competence, character & capacity?
“Prolly reason for pushing #SayNoToAPC even without mentioning names she was loud & clear, Seun cannot but nod in agreement, six packs of fearless for her”.
@AriseOcom said, “There are many embarrassing things associated with the Amoda Sangodele a.k.a Bola Tinubu – – avoid APC like plague.
“From drug allegations to money laundering; just too much burden to carry as a Leader to lead Nigeria”.
@AaJessehalliday said, “Every year, Buhari Borrows Billions of Dollars to balance our Budget, yet Governors & Ex-Governors are earning so much, Nigeria has the highest-paid politicians in the world, We can’t continue like this!”
@MrOdanz said, “APC must not return to Ask Rock. Nigerians have never suffered as much as we have in the last 8 years of APC Presidency. God forbid APC in Sao Rock. #SayNoToAPC “
