President Muhammadu Buhari has come under severe social media attack, after he swore in a new acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko on Friday.
The president on the ‘order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal’ suspended embattled CJN, Walter Onnoghen. A move that has sparked serious reactions on Twitter and a trending Tyrant Buhari hashtag.
See reactions Below
Buhari came for the Shiites, you said i am not a Shi'ite
Buhari came for the National Assembly, you said they deserved it
Buhari came for Deji, you ignored it
Buhari came for the Judiciary, you are quiet
Buhari will come for you #TyrantBuhari

#TheBuhariEffect is such that his SAN VP Osibanjo too will suddenly not know that his boss #TyrantBuhari has no direct powers 2suspend Justice Onnoghen &swear in another Chief Justice of Nigeria without NJC & Senate approval
To even think the appointment is even a nepotic one sef pic.twitter.com/PRssIjziju— If¥™ (@nnekei) January 25, 2019

The reasons why he lost in
2003, 2007, 2011 are showing up now! Tinubu went to the pit, dug and brought out a tyrant just to acquire power by all means. #TyrantBuhari— Olóyè TD. Esq (@BolanleCole) January 25, 2019
Nigerians, the PDP can’t fight this battle alone, it is time to defend our country.
Suspending CJN Onnoghen is same as suspending our constitution.
There’s no country without constitution.
We must all join hands as one people and condemn this to save our country. #TyrantBuhari— Somto Onuchukwu (@chosensomto) January 25, 2019
