Some Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express their different views following the Presidency’s announcement on Wednesday that “a group of good Nigerians” purchased N45 million worth presidential nomination forms for President Muhammadu Buhari while he was away in China.
President Buhari’s Special Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, tweeted photos of the expression of interest and nomination forms purchased at national headquarters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on behalf of the President.
Ahmad captioned the photo, “While President @MBuhari is far in China, a group of good Nigerians bought expression of interest form and nomination form for him.”
SEE REACTIONS TO THE TWEET:
They bought nomination for buhari to reinforce failure? Let me start my journey to canada now

Lmao!? We ain’t falling for these lies no more. Buhari bought and paid for the damn forms himself. You want to portray him as “poor” but his son rides a bike worth hundreds of millions, his wife carries a Hermes bag. Bashir, I wanted to say “thunder faya you” but…
