    Fifteen Nigerian senators from the ruling All Progressives Congress party switch allegiance making it a minority in parliament’s upper house. Do their actions spell trouble for President Buhari ahead of next year's election? https://bbc.in/2NE8LwU pic.twitter.com/aQn1B0ajnl

        No, because the masses have confident in the President, if we look at the country's political struggles, those that decamp are senator whose aim is only to remain influence in government and to pursue the personal interest within in the Nigerian politics

        Baba God you too much, 4 years of APC Buhari Led administration is like 41 years of Israelites in the land of Egypt. There's hope for Nigerians again, Buhari has decimated Nigeria physically and emotionally, a banker turn to okada rider. He called us #lazyNigerianyouths

        18.8% unemployment rate, 16.5% inflation rate, 7.4% poverty rate. About 87 million people live in extreme poverty due to his nepotistic tendencies, flawed policies & d ineptitude of his govt. This is long overdue

        Big trouble. The president is incompetent & also anoints an arrogantly loose cannon as party chair. Democracy is under hostage wit the actions of d president

        In case you are not Nigerian, or perhaps, just unaware, I wish to inform you to criticise critically comments on social media. This govt has elevated propaganda to an official tool of goverance with people paid to launder their image.

        Most of them rode on the shoulders of @MBuhari's huge popularity in the last election. They are switching allegiance now because they have lost value locally in their constituencies. Many can't even visit their home place. BBC, that's the way our politicians are here. Nomadic!
