Following claims and counter claims that President Muhammadu Buhari received $300,000 as compensation and a number of SUVs from the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in the wake of Boko Haram Terrorists’ attack on his convoy last year around Kawo, Kaduna State, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express their feelings on the controversial matter.
They shared their opinions using the hashtag “#BuhariGate”, which is now a trending topic.
