The presidency on Thursday released a photo to respond to Nigerians who are agitating for the appearance of their leader.
As of the time of writing this report, there are over 14,000 tweets demanding the presence of President Buhari.
According to many of the tweets, Nigerians are demanding their president to address them on the issue of coronavirus on a daily basis like President Trump and other world leaders.
Many stated that written statements by aides are no longer acceptable at this point.
However, with the pressure mounting and Nigerians not giving up on their request, the presidency released a photo at 10:00 pm.
“The concocted audio message about President@MBuhari’s whereabouts should be totally disregarded.
