The decision of ailing President Muhammadu Buhari to send his Eid-el-Fitr greetings to Nigerians especially Muslims in Hausa language has drawn criticisms from Nigerians.
Recall Mr. Buhari had embarked on a medical trip to the United Kingdom since May 7 and neither a picture nor audio of him has surfaced until yesterday when the Presidency made public of his voice message to Nigerians though the authenticity of the audio is being doubted.
Below are some of the reactions that have trailed the audio;
President Buhari spoke to a country with over 500 diff languages in HAUSA,”our official lang”

@sweetfm1071 Sir, PMB talking to us in Hausa offends our sensibilities, when he is not Shekau. Are we even sure if the voice is really his.— Dare Olawin (@Dareolawin1) June 26, 2017
The official language WAS English for the benefit of the British Lords.

I’m just trying to imagine GEJ addressing Nigerians in Ijaw language. President Buhari and his handlers are dangerously clueless #Nigeria— Ali George (@aligthebaptist) June 25, 2017
President Buhari is the President of all Nigeria. He is not the President of only those who can speak/understand Hausa! This is an outrage!!— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) June 25, 2017
How can President Buhari address 170 Million Nigerians with Hausa language or maybe he wasn’t talking to us all…?🙄🤔— Kelechi Nkoro (@K1Says) June 25, 2017
