Nigerians have taken to the micro-social media platform, Twitter, to express their views about the news of the official declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari to run for second term.
Buhari, a few hours ago at the National Executive Council meeting, made known his intention to contest the presidency again in 2019.
A social media aide to the President, Bashir Ahmad, broke the news earlier on Monday (today) via his social media page with the hashtag #PMBForNigeria 2019.
Reactions to Buhari’s declaration are swift, as Nigerians greet the news with different reactions.

/sæmoælfrəd/@samoalfredIt is within the president’s right to seek re-election. It is also within the right of the citizens to say NO to incompetence and bad leadership.
orji Emmanuel@andyorji…seeking re-election for doing nothing in 3years? That’s corruption!

The man knew that his 2nd term declaration is unpopular, unpleasant and unpalatable to the vast majority of Nigerians which is why he ran away to London as soon as he announced the news. One would have thought he is contesting for @Theresa_May’s job the way he dashes to the UK.
