However, his submission has sparked mixed reactions with some Nigerians who believe Buhari failed disagreeing with his aide. Others however think the President performed creditably well.
@AkiimReid1: All these you mentioned were half baked and didn’t work. Failed people.
@fash360degree: Above ALL, Baba Buhari showed himself as a good example that ONE CAN STILL BE AN UPRIGHT LEADER/NIGERIAN even if everybody around is a crook.
His only failing is, underestimating politicians, Overtrusting appointees with delegations. Non reshuffling of cabinet. Yet Best HoS ever.
@HalimaBetara: May Allah reward Baba Buhari with Aljannatul firdaus.
@chiukwujioke: He failed woefully in everything.
@uchesm: He will also be remembered for bringing Nigerian from Top to Bottom.
@frvzzy: Literally almost everything
Baba has done good 👍🏾
Allah ya saka da Alkairi
