President Muhammadu Buhari’s first speech in 49 days has left many Nigerians disturbed, after the audio message went viral.
In the one minute, two seconds audio message aired by BBC, President Buhari whose voice sounded frail, spoke in Hausa.
This has angered many Nigerians who took to social media to express reservations. Buhari is currently receiving medical attention in London.
Below are some reactions on Twitter and Facebook:
1- The President shouldn't have spoken in Hausa if he really needed to put that out.
2. His media team were reckless to have released that.
imagine 370 Nigerian tribes requiring a translator before they can understand their president's Hausa message
It's now purely Business Business Business..
No time for political twitter again, if Buhari likes he should speak in tongues from UK.
Breaking:
The voice behind that sallah Hausa message was MC Tagwaye and not Buhari.
He really did a nice job!
At a time when d unity of Nig is at stake and d Acting President is preaching unity, d President addressed d Nation from hospital in Hausa.
Sallah message in hausa from the Long lost president of Nigeria. Some people looking for their own country really have a good reason.
President Buhari is the President of all Nigeria. He is not the President of only those who can speak/understand Hausa! This is an outrage!!
Hahaha how can you speak Hausa to 170 (correct me) ethnic groups expecting they will know tf you're talking... Wen only 3-7 understand.
Buhari's Hausa voice message divided even his own team. I hear that Lauratta Onochie and Tolu, and other aides didn't RT the message.
PHARAOH needed Joseph to Interpret dreams in the palace. PRESIDENT might need people to interpret to HAUSA in the villa. See?
It would have been better for PMB to have kept quiet than for him to have spoken and erased any doubt that he is a sectional leader!
@renoomokri Isn't Hausa an official lingua Franca in Nigeria Mr. Reno O'Mockery.
The Ministry of Information will translate it into all languages.
Those who called GEJ 'Ijaw President' have no problem with Buhari's first message to Nigerians in 50days being in Hausa language? Alright!
The president can't be gone for 50 days with no sight of him, only for his team to release an audio in Hausa language, bad PR.
It was NOT @MBuhari that spoke in todays sallah day audio recording. And for whoever it was to address the nation in hausa is insulting.
