The world will miss your leadership.” The statement made by the chairman of the occasion sparked a lot of heat on the internet The majority of Nigerians did not find that assertion to be credible, and many have mocked him on Twitter.

Here are some few tweets:

[@drealOlomo]” Ghana can have him. We won’t miss him a second

[@samiza84]” How do these guys sleep at night.

[@DELLcollections]” Oga speak for yourself and country o God forbid that we miss Buhari. Because with the one that is likely to takeover, what you said might just be apt.

[@Mrcooltemper2]” Ghanaian president if you know what people are passing through you won’t make such statement. But I put it to you that no one in Nigeria will miss Buhari.
