In Twitter, Some Nigerians who are not pleased with Buhari for the deaths of others reportedly killed in Plateau State claimed this is just a bid to retain power in next year’s polls.
According to them, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is considered a group seeking a share of the national treasure.

Please there is a case of kidnapped female twins online. Can you spare time to look into it. Resolving this will improve the positive image of this administration. Thank you.

CAN itself is full of corrupt people
Thou shall not be yoked with unbeliever
The blood of innocent people that you allow
PMB to kill will not allow you people to rest…

Is there anything called Christian leaders? These are array of men trying hard to get their own shares from the national cake. # EvilPeople
