In the wee hours of this morning, a certain hashtag #TyrantBuhari sparked wildfire across twitter as some Nigerians called for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Just as their numbers were swelling, another group of Nigerians stood in firm support of the President for his unusual but effective methods in solving Nigeria’s many problems.
YNaija has compiled a list of 20 tweets about the conversation covering both sides of the divide.
They dressed him him up as a reformed democrat during the elections. Now, he's showing us his true colours. #TyrantBuhari #TyrantBuhari

It's a pity #TyrantBuhari is trending because a committed president is simply struggling alone against very influential & corrupt people.
