The official spokesperson to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Garba Shehu is receiving a lot of stick on social media barely hours into his tweet session where he is listing the achievements of the Buhari’s administration in one year.
The president’s aide on Media and Publicity took to Twitter two days before Buhari’s one year in office to negate the poor approval ratings the President has been getting on social media but judging by the reactions from Nigerians, they are not impressed.

I’m sorry to say, Garba Shehu doesn’t even appear intelligent. His tweets on Buhari’s achievements are so infantile and lacking in substance

@garshehu Mr Garba Shehu, i am very sure this your tweets are not meant for Nigerian Tweeps.
You are even lying more that Lai Mohammed.— Onuigwe C. Sirnoel (@Chigold101) May 27, 2016
Garba Shehu is an ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. He is one of sycophants not telling Mr President the truth. Posterity will judge you Sir.
— Timisola Muraina (@mtimisola) May 27, 2016
Please stop quoting Garba Shehu on TL even if disproving him.
His statements are irritating

Am afraid ooh— Olushinaola (@Shinaspeaks) May 27, 2016
Dear Garba Shehu, you chose the wrong time to tweet.
I think it’s unnecessary to sound like a motivational speaker.
Nigerians are tired.— Herbert Daniel (@DGHerbert) May 27, 2016
I want to believe that Garba Shehu’s twitter handle has been hacked, Because I know quite well that he can’t be tweeting all these.
— David Okpako (@David_Successor) May 27, 2016
Dear Garba Shehu, you don’t inspire people to believe in the president’s efforts when they’re hungry.
Remember, it’s like 1 year— Herbert Daniel (@DGHerbert) May 27, 2016
