President Muhammadu Buhari has said he was not bothered about the defections in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because according to him, he has the support of ordinary Nigerians.
Buhari, said this on Sunday during an interview with the Nigerian community in Togo at the Nigerian Embassy, Lome. In his words:
“I am not bothered about the defections. Ordinary Nigerians have developed confidence in us and are defending us. I assure you, majority of Nigerians back home are appreciative of our efforts.”
Buhari, who has been trending on Twitter all morning since the interview last night may have to really look to be sure. Some Nigerians on Twitter have reacted to the interview and their reactions were not so good.

Unable to deliver these
#Buhari Must GO 2019 is a PROJECT that must be fulfilled. It is an all Nigerians Project. The killings, unemployment, insecurity, harsh economy are no more bearable.

Prosecuting opposition
Arraigning "political foes" in the court of law by #Buhari is pure waste of material/human capital.He should just arrest & lock them straight.That will certify his dictatorial credentials & save our resources.
