Death of former President Muhammadu Buhari has triggered mixed reactions among netizens.
News360 Info reports that the former Nigerian leader died on Sunday in London after a brief illness.
His remains are expected to arrive in the country for immediate burial in Daura, Katsina state on Monday (today).
However, while many Nigerians mourn the former president with an influx of tributes, others have decided to flashback to the immediate past administration led by Buhari.
According to them, the administration was marred by insecurity, hunger, corruption and oppression.
A popular activist, Omoyele Sowore, in a post on his Facebook page, reeled out four major shortcomings of the former leader.
Sowore alleged that the late Buhari “slaughtered hundreds of Shiites, men, women, and even children”.
He also recalled how the former president allegedly ordered soldiers of the Nigerian Army to “open fire on peaceful EndSARS protesters waving the Nigerian flag”, in October 2020.
Sowore also alleged that Buhari masterminded the disappearance of Abubakar Idris, a social media influencer and staunch critic of the Nigerian government who was abducted on August 1, 2019.
“He “disappeared” Dadiyata”, the activist alleged.
Sowore further accused the deceased of ordering “the massacre of young Southeasterners whom he branded IPOB.
“He disobeyed court orders, jailed critics arbitrarily, destroyed the economy, and ruined everything he touched.
“And now, because he’s dead, some people with selective memory want us to mourn or worship him?
“Shameful. NO, we do not mourn tyrants. We remember their victims”.
Many other Nigerians including popular Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Igboho have voiced our Buhari’s alleged shortcomings during his reigns as Nigerian President.
