another said it is the agenda of the president to islamize nigeria
The appointment of Justice Ibrahim Tanko, a Sharia Judge as Chief Justice of Nigeria and the composition of security chiefs which are predominantly Muslims is a testament of Buhari’s agenda to Islamize Nigeria.

This is 2019. This is not 1983
This is Nigeria. This is not Zimbabwe
We've seen tyrants before and we know how they ended. The opposition to your self-succession bid has just increased significantly.
All bets are off. YOU MUST GO BACK TO DAURA!!!— aydot (@a_aydot) January 25, 2019
