Following the declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari as winner of the 2019 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), some Nigerians have taken to Twitter to make their demands.
Using the hashtag #BuhariShould, Nigerians itemised what they want the President to prioritise as he wins re-election for a second term in office.
At the top of the list are demands for adequate power supply, job creation and infrastructural development, while some also made calls for the replacement of some Ministers in the president’s present cabinet.

The hashtag has not only generated over 5,000 tweets but led to arguments between supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressive Party.
Recall that INEC had announced that Buhari of the APC polled 15,191,847 votes to defeat his closest contender, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP who polled 11,262,978 votes.

While Atiku heads to court, I hope Buhari will replace Adamu Adamu (Education), Dalung (Youth Development) and Shittu (ICT) immediately. Nigeria and Nigerians does not deserve to be punished for another four years.

I believe #BuhariShould focus on providing 24 hours electricity after his 8 years in office,provide jobs,strengthen the Naira like Ghana,and revive our industry. I also want @aishambuhari be made a full time First Lady and given jobs to do like Michelle Obama was to Barack Obama. pic.twitter.com/zRmEJNHr2b

Dear President Nigeria’s age of consent is the lowest in the world which is age 11, meaning a 40 year old man can have sex with a 11 year old in Nigeria and not be charged to court. #BuhariShould

#BuhariShould Focus on one section of the country at a time, if he wanna fix power he should go out for it in full force, if it’s education, he should do the same, but most of all the countries GDP is low and our level of production is poor. Businesses are closing down.

#BuhariShould don’t limit NYSC youths to just education. Make them work in their field of study. Schools should not rely on them as cheap labor. They should get professionals. Youths waste that year, instead they should work in places they can work and learn about their field.

Adamu Adamu is a great and honest Nigerian but he is not fit to lead the ministry of education. I can’t imagine having him as minister of Education for another 4 years.#BuhariShould please do the needful! pic.twitter.com/FyGcb07OFq
