Nigerians have taken to various social media platforms to berate President Muhammadu Buhari over the bloodshed witnessed in Plateau State in the past few days, leaving at least 200 Nigerians brutally slaughtered by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
On micro blogging site, Twitter, this has been the reaction:
The army “mistakenly” bombed an IDP camp in Rann. No reprimand
IGP disobeyed your order. No reprimand
The army left their duty post in Dapchi that led to the kidnap of 100 #DapchiGirls. No reprimand#PlateauKillings. No reprimand
Buhari is a very weak president!

It is very evident that President Buhari is more loyal to Miyetti Allah and Fulani Herdsmen than he is to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We are in big trouble. #plateaukillings #Nigeria

Whenever you remember General Buhari’s emergence in 2015, remember that an entire youthful generation’s entire education, perceptive ability, and critical reasoning was sadly exposed as a farce!

Buhari says putting the #PlateauKillings blame on him is injustice ????@MBuhari please who should we blame? Didn’t you blame the Boko Haram attacks on the @GEJonathan? The killings in Plateau is now happening in your tenure so I’m asking again who should we blame? #AskBuhariForMe pic.twitter.com/YL3ntgFTWY

#PlateauKillings won’t stop any time soon.
Attacks beget reprisal attacks.
Reprisal attacks beget reprisal attacks.
More reprisal attacks beget deadly reprisal attacks.The Fulani security chiefs have taken sides.
We all know where Buhari stands.— IKECHUKWU (@iykimo) June 27, 2018
I have tried but couldn’t bring myself to terms with defending @MBuhari on #PlateauKillings. He chose to work with the most foolish Inspector General of Police born of woman. Let all of us supporting Buhari admit this is one mess too many. We owe the nation a huge apology.

And I just found out that Buhari is also Grand Patron of the Miyetti Allah group. That man is a real joke of a president. The real scare is that the more these things happen, the quicker it’s trivialized, #PlateauKillings pic.twitter.com/SpuCRyUZOG

One question Nigerians should be asking President Buhari is; has anyone been arrested for the killing of over 200 people in Plateau?
200 people killed in one day by people said to retaliating loss of cows is a national disaster that should attract decisive actions not speeches.— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) June 27, 2018

President Buhari, Tue, June 26th 2018 in Plateau
Ladies & gentlemen, if the commander in chief of armed forces of our dear country can say this; then it is finished

The clearest evidence of Buhari’s bias in favour of herdsmen is that Danladi Ciroma, Chairman of Miyetti Allah, still moves freely after openly justifying the killings of Christians in Plateau. Not only was he not arrested, but Buhari absolved herdsmen and blamed the opposition!

It is a shame that in some parts of Nigeria when people die they kill cows whilst in other parts of Nigeria when cows die they kill people.

I disagree with those who said the President has been silent on the killings in the country.I agree with the President that he has not been silent on the violence in the country.The President has in fact been talking about it each time it happens.
— Senator Shehu Sani (@ShehuSani) June 27, 2018
Buhari says politicians are taking advantage of the killings
Buhari says it is unfair to blame him for not cautioning herdsmen
Buhari says he can only pray to God for the security situation to be resolved.
Calling this clueless is an insult to clueless people.

If Buhari wins a 2nd term, Fulani Herdsmen will spread deep into Southern Nigeria using Oyo state as launch pad. Remember Buhari and his Fulani brothers had already ‘marked’ Oyo state in the early 2000s during Lam Adesina’s era.

Saying this guy is incompetent and lacks emotional intelligence is to insult incompetent and emotionally unintelligent people.
This man is wicked. Pure and simple. https://t.co/eC3UZxjkeb
