Nigerians took to Twitter on Wednesday to react to a footage of Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari speaking at the Climate Action Summit 2019 held during the ongoing 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
In the video which has now gone viral, President Buhari was seated on a panel with other world leaders and was expected to discuss matters arising on the subject matter.
Buhari was asked by the moderator, “President Buhari, Nigeria has a very young population. Perhaps you might highlight what a pathway for a resilient future looks like?” Responding to the question, Buhari completely went off tangent, pulling out a prepared speech which he read.
The video was shared on Twitter by Tolu Ogunlesi, the President’s Special Assistant on New Media.

If Muhammadu Buhari @MBuhari had any iota of clue he would immediately sack all his appointees that posted that disastrous video of his bumbling response to a question asked but he is clueless and his appointees love his cluelessness. They can get away with anything!
