Nigerians on Twitter are unimpressed with President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to cancel his attendance of the flag off ceremony of the Niger Delta Clean-up exercise in Ogoni land, Rivers state.

While no official reason was given for the President’s decision to skip the ceremony, widespread reports indicate that it’s as a result of militant group, Niger Delta Avengers’ threat to assassinate him.

Despite the fact that he is being represented by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, many Nigerians still found the President worthy of criticism.

Hell, some even called him a scared chicken.

Buhari cancelled his trip to Lagos, Calabar and now #Ogoni #NDCleanUp in the spate of 2 weeks. He should add his name to the Ghost workers

1)Dear President Buhari @NGRPresident
Why do you always want to burst my bubble? I was so looking forward to seeing you at #NDCleanUp

And Mr. President’s absence will now overshadow a historic moment in the Niger Delta. A cleanup that matters to its future #NDCleanUp

Buhari chickened out in the last minute blaming threats to his life.

I am particularly worried about PMB’s mental strength

@otunbasegebam @APCNigeria Is it his presence that matters or getting the work done? GEJ that visited Borno afterwards, what became of it

When BH was having a field day in Borno; i don’t remember GEJ going there; even after the abduction of the Chibok sch girls.

GEJ went to Borno in 2013 and sometime in 2015 https://t.co/s4NE9YgWll

The president’s absence in Ogoniland today is another major victory for the “Avengers,” their sponsors and social media fanatics.

2 June 2016: Commander in Chief of the ARMED FORCES declines to visit his own territory for security reasons. Inauspicious #NDCleanUp

— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) June 2, 2016

I recall that GEJ refused in the aftermath of some Abuja bomb blasts to cancel the centenary celebrations in Abuja to defy terrorism.
