In solidarity of the #EndSARS movement, Nigerians have decided to take their protest a level higher as protesters start unfollowing the President Muhammadu Buhari across all social media platforms.
In just the last 24-hours when the #UnfollowBuhari movement started, the President has lost over 100,000 followers on Twitter.
The President reacted to the protest on Friday night when he tweeted a photo from a meeting with the inspector general of police (IGP) and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo said he has directed the IGP to address the issues and lead a police reform.
Nigerians were not impressed by the president’s response and decided to continue the protests nationwide — gaining traction internationally as one of the top trends across the world.
A Twitter user called on Nigerians to unfollow the president on the micro-blogging platform.
According to him “unfollowing Buhari is also a form of protest?”
“We can help him shave off 1.5 million followers,” he added.
