Every day on the Nigerian Internet, there are people who keep our eyes glued to our phone screens as we read their rants, opinions, perspectives on political and social issues, etc.
Sometimes, they are just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday shunned protocol and walked 800metres from the Eid-praying ground in Daura to his private residence, an action the Presidency termed; ‘a demonstration of his fitness to run for a second term.’
Nigerians thereafter took to twitter to react to the development and these reactions forms our list for today:
- Atiku Abubakar
I regularly jog more than a mile & exercise, but it will be pedestrian of me to ask Nigerians to vote for me because of that. I want my party – the PDP, and Nigerians, to vote for me because I WORK not because I WALK. I will work to create jobs. I won’t walk to create an illusion pic.twitter.com/zxkzLcWDpg

Alhaji Atiku with the nuggets; Vote for me because I work not because I walk.
Time will tell sha.

Trekking is never a qualification to become a president.
US 32nd president, Franklin D. Roosevelt ruled America from a wheelchair.
That you or anyone thinks that trekking qualifies you, simple means, you don't have what it takes.@Osekita @EMIOLAWALEOLA @segalink @DeleMomodu
