Below are some of the reactions culled by our correspondent.
@nafiumohammad: Remove power sir, we will only remember his failure in that aspect.
@AkiimReid1: All these you mentioned were half baked and didn’t work. Failed people.
@fash360degree: Above ALL, Baba Buhari showed himself as a good example that ONE CAN STILL BE AN UPRIGHT LEADER/NIGERIAN even if everybody around is a crook.
His only failing is, underestimating politicians, Overtrusting appointees with delegations. Non reshuffling of cabinet. Yet Best HoS ever.
@HalimaBetara: May Allah reward Baba Buhari with Aljannatul firdaus.
@chiukwujioke: He failed woefully in everything.
@uchesm: He will also be remembered for bringing Nigerian from Top to Bottom.
@frvzzy: Literally almost everything
Baba has done good
Allah ya saka da Alkairi
@dr_laraba: And you will be remembered for telling series of serious lies like this one you typed to our faces, just to put food on your table. God dey Ooo…it’s well, you have only 18 days.
