Nigeria’s twitter community reacted negatively to president Mohammadu Buhari’s interview on NTA.
The interview tagged ‘The Candidates” which offers candidates running for office the chance of selling their manifestos and in president Buhari’s case, the chance to defend his administration’s steering of Nigeria’s affairs for over 3 years, was broadcast live on Wednesday night.
Nigerians communicated their disappointments.
Watching #NGTheCandidates on NTA
Baba is fumbling like Bakayoko of Chelsea as usual
He can't hear or answer simple questions wellSo Osinbajo is now doing a Kante for him
He is intercepting all the passes and covering up for himFam, We need to sell this Bakayoko this season

Buhari is talking about the Press "helping us expose Corrupt Governors, that steal LG funds"
Baba, what did you do with Ganduje's video? #NGTheCandidates— Prof Stanley Nwabia (@MrStanleyNwabia) January 16, 2019
What are your thoughts on restructuring with regards to education?
PMB: I’m expecting the press to investigate the corruption in the local government. #NGTheCandidates

I’m concerned about @mbuhari. I truly am.
The Disability Bill was transmitted to him on the 18th of December.
Buhari said he is not aware. #NGtheCandidates https://t.co/l0D2Ab88VU

Again, Osinbajo is talking about "previous 16 years" which was much better than the previous military years and what we have today #NGTheCandidates. The result is here pic.twitter.com/BV2bG0WDQ5

If you lose will you accept the results?
Buhari refused to answer the question#NGTheCandidates— Great Oracle (@AbdulMahmud01) January 16, 2019
SSCE certificate should not be used as minimum for a presidential candidate!
Of course, you don't expect a cattle herdsman with little or no sound education to speak intelligently like Osinbajo.
The sooner we realise this, the better for us. #NGTheCandidates https://t.co/edxxf42jQI— Annalise Keating 👧🏾 (@Chrisse_Tiana) January 16, 2019
Was I the only person who couldn't make out what the President was saying? Biko I need an interpreter, I'll pay. #NgTheCandidates

This man cannot be my President.
How we ended up with the worst of us leading the rest of us.
We are going no where with this man at the helm. #NgTheCandidates— BONARIO NNAGS (@bonario89) January 16, 2019

Buhari incompetence is in the highest order #NgTheCandidates

This town hall is what is known as ‘see finish’. Breeze don blow. Fowl yansh open. This interview opened Buhari’s yansh. That thing they have been hiding since Dec 2015 when Buhari had a real live presidential media chat. Nigerians have seen it. Daura straight. #NGTheCandidates

Interviewer: What could be responsible for your withholding accent to the bill of persons with disabilities?
Buhari obviously confused.
Leans and asks Osibanjo what does she mean.
Is it the rehabilitation fund?
My people, it is finished.— Onusiriuka Kelechi Nmeri (@KelechiNmeri) January 16, 2019
It was Baba Go Slow from the beginning, Jubril from Sudan recently, and now Bubu; no amount of blackmail or bigotry-based name calling will override Buhari's positive integrity and popularity. #NGTheCandidates #PMBtill2023

Buhari didn't really sound like someone who will bow out without a fight if he loses #NgTheCandidates

I’m more concerned about the ones clapping after the rubbish he said, typical of E herdsmen cheering him on here on twitter.#NgTheCandidates https://t.co/QOZZfKn6Ox

I'm really vexed in my spirit tonight.
No, I believe the people that intend to vote for Buhari are mentally challenged because… SMH
Arnnnnnnnnn…🙃#NgTheCandidates— BLaw KhaDoni🖤💛🖤💛 (@Bbl40751137) January 16, 2019
So @APCNigeria just brought people who benefited from 10,000 naira #tradermoni from the streets to be clapping sheepishly on #NGTheCandidates. @MBuhari and @ProfOsinbajo, it shows you both are jokers!
