A Twitter influencer identified as Mayowa has reacted to an image of ex-President Buhari, accompanied by the Katsina State Governor, being escorted by thousands of Muslims on Sallah Day, sparking controversy on the internet.

In his words, he stated: “Buhari’s perpetual popularity despite being the worst leader this country has ever had is sufficient proof that the Muslim north is a major Nigerian problem.”

His statement has sparked diverse reactions from Nigerians. Although it remains a fact that General Buhari has been rated as the worst president since the start of democracy in the country, according to local and international assessments, the reactions to Mayowa’s comment reflect the deep divisions in public opinion.
