Some Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express anger over comments made by Joe Igbokwe, the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, about President Muhammadu Buhari.
Igbokwe, who appeared on Channels Television programme, Politics Today, on Monday, said that anyone with the insinuation that Buhari’s government has not done well is “a liar from the pit of hell”.
He blamed the country’s problems on the previous administrations since 1999.
He said: “You (PDP) were there for 16 years and we didn’t see anything. In the midst of plenty, I cannot lay my hands on anything. Support your leader, don’t be a distraction. Anybody who tells you Buhari is not doing well is a liar from the pit of hell given where we are coming from.”
