President Muhammadu Buhari was saved by his deputy Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as both answered questions from Nigerians on The Candidates on Wednesday, January 16, 2019.Anchored by smooth talking Kadaria Ahmed on NTA, the programme saw Buhari struggling to answer some of the questions.Nigerians splashed their views on social media as the programme was under way. Here are some of the views about the performance of our current leaders…

At this point, anyone still supporting and campaining for Buhari for a second tenure should be considered an enemy to the growth and development of this nation.
Please don't argue with them no more. Just tell them to retrace their step. #TheCandidates has exposed their unbranded brand. 'They are not aware' 'we are not aware' 'I'm not aware'. We're not aware of you guys anymore.

Thank you @KadariaAhmed for confirming our fears about the competency, coherency, and mental stability of President @MBuhari at #TheCandidates show yesterday. We now know why he has been avoiding the press and talking to the citizens. He's clearly not fit to head a village.

The president is not aware that a Disability bill was sent to him by the National Assembly. #TheCandidates

Pls Vote out the APC cos we have to all apologize to GEJ… The APC pair are clueless and lifeless. No confidence speaking in an interview. Now we know why he avoided the cameras for 3.5years. Sorry but we need someone vibrant. Trump was right!!!#TheCandidates
Mr President is more concerned about the technology used to capture Ganduje stuffing dollars in his Babanriga than the criminal act itself. #TheCandidates.

I now understand why Aisha buhari said the government is been controlled by cabals, Mr presidents don't even know wat is happening in the country #thecandidates

Turly Nigerians we are better than this…if the person we all look up to as our president can't answer a question directly… We till have a long way to go.. #TheCandidates

President Buhari's blatant refusal to admit that he would accept defeat by conceding defeat is worrisome. More worrisome is the fact that his stooge amongst the crowd were clapping at his refusal to be definitive on accepting the election results if he loses. #TheCandidates
— Agbo Emmanuel, MFR (@DrAgboEmmanuel) January 16, 2019
Prof definitely answered all the questions and even went further to explain to him the once he could not comprehend too, the presenter went as far to say allow him speak for himself #TheCandidates
— Ab_Slim (@Abbort_Elims1) January 17, 2019
Buhari's insistence on equal rights of movement for herders as much as others, is also misunderstood. @ProfOsinbajo 's comments/contribution shut obviously be the way forward. @KadariaAhmed @MBuhari @NTANewsNow #TheCandidates
— Pa Johnson (@MrPa_Johnson) January 16, 2019
Why is Osinbajo answering all the questions meant for our president while Buhari just sits like a child led to school? Buhari is busy taking some notes. #TheCandidates#NTA

#TheCandidates I confirmed the lying prowess of this VP OSINBAJO yesterday,U took over the front seat. I av several people around that benefitted from SURE-P. In life, as much as we want to portray ourselves in good light, let's not discredit the genuine achievements of D others

Seems The APC pair are good at getting you lost in between, even the audience yesternight were so lost they didnt know what they were clapping at, for.#TheCandidates

President Muhammadu Buhari just made me proud.#TheCandidates

With how our president indirectly refuse to answer the question as to whether he will accept defeat should he lose this upcoming election… this baba might not handover power o well what's my own #thecandidates
— Lerix Martinez (@martolerix) January 16, 2019
with all sense of candor, if APC really have the common Nigerians at heart, they would have made Osinbanjo the presidential candidate instead.

Honestly, without prejudice and without holding brief for anyone, Buhari is not the right man for the job.#TheCandidates.
#thecandidates am wondering how 5k every month will lift anybody out of poverty. Meanwhile who knows anybody that is receiving the token?

#TheCandidates it has been so much torture watching this debate with the President. Now we will make informed choices when voting.
