Listen to how the great Fela Kuti described General Muhammad Buhari in 1983: " Animal in human skin"
Years later, has anything changed?#TyrantBuhari pic.twitter.com/N69qigqZzS

Buhari's next move is suspension of the constitution and declaration of state of emergency in Nigeria
Watch out #TyrantBuhari

If you support Buhari then you're evil and have no goodwill towards me. You're an enemy. You basically wish me dead. And I hope you die first.#TyrantBuhari

Thank God Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is alive today to witness what he caused for himself when he brought Buhari to nigerians. May God grant him strength to fix it back by force by fire. Nigeria shall be great again; a must!#tyrantbuhari

Buhari came for the Shiites, you said i am not a Shi'ite
Buhari came for the National Assembly, you said they deserved it
Buhari came for Deji, you ignored it
Buhari came for the Judiciary, you are quiet
Buhari will come for you #TyrantBuhari

Before tagging him #TyrantBuhari | The difference between Jonathan and Buhari is that Buhari is smarter and while Jonathan functioned as Nigeria's Executive President, Buhari is functioning as the Executive President & Commander-in-Chief, he understands the dual role very well! pic.twitter.com/EQbOZsjqRn

NASS shouldn’t make that mistake they made when Buhari bought fighter jets without NASS approval. This is an impeachable offense, instigating a constitutional crisis. Impeach Buhari. Start impeachment proceedings against him. #TyrantBuhari

As a Nigerian, I cease to regard @MBuhari as the president of my country!
I will not acknowledge a man who does not acknowledge the superiority of a constitution he swore to uphold#TyrantBuhari— 𝕄 (@TheMikiiz) January 25, 2019
Buhari said he acted in accordance with court judgement in suspending #Onnoghen.
My question, what happens to all the other court judgements that you have ignoring?
My advice, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. #TyrantBuhari

Three years ago, in January 2016, the PDP Digital Media Family trended #TyrantBuhari and some thought we were doing too much.
There's nothing we've predicted about this man that has turned out to be wrong, nothing.
If anything in fact, he has surprised us exceedingly sometimes.
— 'Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) January 25, 2019
Those trending #TyrantBuhari, why is he a tyrant? Is it ok for the CJN to take bribes in exchange for court judgements? Why not trend #CorruptJudiciary instead? @MBuhari should be thanked for having the courage to do the needful.

Buhari has finally overthrown constitutional governance. Onnoghen remains CJN & Nigerians will continue to recognise him as such

The sad thing is that Nigerians were warned about Buhari's tyrannical tendencies, but nobody listened.#TyrantBuhari

The story will be told that, at a time when #tyrantbuhari was busy burying democracy in Nigeria, a VP who was supposed to be a SAN and a Pastor did nothing to stop it, rather he consented to it fully.@MBuhari @ProfOsinbajo @john_danfulani @adeyanjudeji @segalink @renoomokri

See, they took the gloves off, tyranny has been fully unleashed on us.
These are dangerous times; or very existence as one nation has been threatened by the illegal suspension of CJN Walter Onnoghen.
I agree that this is tantamount to suspending the constitution. #TyrantBuhari— Somto Onuchukwu (@chosensomto) January 25, 2019
