took to President Muhammadu Buharisocial media to condemn the killing of eight people by a mob in Zamfara after they were accused of blasphemy. He noted that his prayers are with the families of the victims, adding that there will be no place for violence in the name of religion, ethnicity, or in any guise whatsoever under his watch. However, unimpressed Nigerians had a thing or two tsay to president Buhari.
The president had tweeted:
I received news of the mob killings in Zamfara with great dismay. It is barbaric & unacceptable. I assure that the law will take its course

Under my watch we will work to ensure that there is no place for violence in the name of religion, ethnicity, or in any guise whatsoever.

Many Nigerians seem very unimpressed with the way the government is handling the recurrent killings of innocent Nigerians and as such didn’t waste any time to lash out on Mr President.
Your prayers aren’t enough
@MBuhari Your prayers have done nothing. Your body language is urging them on & encouraging these killings.

@MBuhari Just listen to yourself. How many Fulani Herdsmen have been arrested & prosecuted in the last 15months?

@PaulUtho @MBuhari What of the Redeemed pastor’s wife murdered in cold blood for preaching in a secular state. Has the law taken its course?

@MBuhari Eye service! Herdsmen are still killing but still no action on the ground but only mere mouth action on social media.

@MBuhari lol… The meeting with your media advisers yesterday must have instigated this lips service. No national conscience from you…

@MBuhari How many arrest has been made. What is the difference b/w this and GEJ’s “we are on top of the situation”.

@MBuhari Mr. President your tribalistic actions and policies add fuel to fire of these barbarity by less-informed almajiris.
