President Muhammadu Buhari’s televised speech on the ongoing #EndSARS protests, and the breakdown of law and order nationwide was met with mixed reactions from Nigerians.
Recall, Nigeria has been rocked by #EndSARS protests carried out by youths protesting police brutality.
However several calls were made asking President Buhari to address the nation in a live broadcast.
Meanwhile here are some reactions as seen on twitter.
@GovAyoFayose
Mr. President has never disappointed me. Nothing else can be lifeless than the President’s Speech.
Those who brought this CHANGE should enjoy the NEXT/NEW LEVEL while it lasts.
@ShehuSani
You ask for speech, you got the speech and now you are speechless.
@adeyanjudeji
After Buhari’s speech, the soldiers that extrajudicially killed protesters in Lekki may even get promotions. #EndSARS
@AishaYesufu
Not a word from Buhari @MBuhari about #EndSars protesters killed. Not a word about citizens killed in Zamfara.
You still have doubt that this man cares for no one and everyone is feeling the effect of his incompetence?
@fisayosoyombo
So the President spoke for 12 minutes and he didn’t mention Lekki?
@YeleSowore
#EndSARS #EndsSARS EMPTY Speech and then they play the national anthem under Which they shot and killed #LekkiProtest activists, just gut wrenching! #RevolutionNow
@MoghaluKingsley
I am disappointed by Prez @MBuhari ‘s recorded speech to the country today. He failed to acknowledge the #Lekkitollgate killings. I didn’t see a concrete response to the CULTURE of impunity and police brutality, or to governance reforms other than a regurgitation of “programs”.
