Recall that Trump had referred to his Nigerian counterpart as “lifeless”, shortly after a meeting between the two leaders on April 30, 2018.
And immediately after his national broadcast on COVID-19 on Monday, Nigerians wondered why the President cannot hold a press briefing where he would answer questions from journalists on the ravaging pandemic.
According to them, this was the best time for President Buhari to show Nigerians that he is not “lifeless” as presumed by the US President.
@renoomokri tweeted,
“General @MBuhari’s speech was not live. It was recorded. What is the president afraid of? Why cant he have a live briefing and take questions from journalists? He just reads what is handed to him. #Coronavirus response requires a dialogue, not a monologue
“In conclusion, I urge General @MBuhari to prove @RealDonaldTrump wrong by ensuring that his next broadcast to the nation is not as ‘lifeless’ as his last 2. If he can’t improve, then he may as well program a robot. A robot will do a better job than Buhari!”

“When Nnamdi Kanu was saying it that ‘Aso rock is empty’ ‘nobody’s there…’ No president, no Vice President no chief of staff. Nobody wants to listen because it’s Nnamdi Kanu. But the truth is buhari is dead.”
@NewtonsJonathan,
“Even Trump respond to questions from journalists during his countless speech, but here in Nigeria it’s called ADDRESS so no one can ask him question. It is what it is.”

“This is wat poor education has done to many Nigerians that they can’t see farther but accept whatever is dished to them. When Intelligent minds are saying something is wrong it is best to shut up and see reasons rather than show your low IQ in matters you don’t comprehend.”

“We all know Buhari doesn’t believe what he read out. A man that set up WAI to flog his citizens. Buhari military regime escalated soldiers brutality against civilians.”
