President Muhammadu Buhari has
incurred the wrath of many Nigerians for saying losing weight shows Mohammed
Adamu, acting inspector-general of police (IGP), is working.
Buhari made the comment while
addressing reporters upon his arrival from the UK on Sunday.
A reporter had asked the
president : “Are we likely to see a different approach in the fight against
insecurity, especially kidnapping, which is a big issue now?” , to which he
responded: “You know, I have just seen the IG, he is… I think he is losing
weight; so, I think he is working very hard.”
Buhari’s comment was received
with shock after the video of the interview surfaced online.
Below are some reactions gathered from twitter:

President Buhari (on security in the country).This is a huge joke.What has the weight loss of the IGP got to do with a totally collapsed security system & the daily siege on the nation
This is the man the north n cabal forced upon us cuz he's easy to hoodwink and beliefs the tribalist views....that its the south that's trying to bring him down. The man knows nothing, he's just not aware.— Michael O Esiso (@BigTarhe) 6 May 2019
They asked Buhari what his plans are to curb insecurity & the terrorism menace going on.— Angie 😎 (@Angel_stiitch) 6 May 2019
My President said ‘The IGP is losing weight, so he must be working’
God forbid this country 😷 😷
Reporter: are you going to step up the fight against insecurity?— Somto Onuchukwu (@chosensomto) May 6, 2019
PMB: No!
His reason is better heard yourself. 👇🏽
I want to ask again, what did Nigerians do to Buhari to deserve this treatment? What is it that he can’t forgive?

BUHARI “I noticed Mohammed Adamu, acting inspector-general of police, has lost weight, though it is a sign that he is working hard”.— Jackson Ude (@jacksonpbn) May 6, 2019
Me: This is how you know a leader has past his time. Buhari is a waste!
President Buhari's measure of hard work and efficacy is weightloss. I wish this was just a random Twitter joke. 😩😩— Ferdinand. (@Poltergeyst_) May 6, 2019

If you are interested, intensify your prayers for Atiku to win this case.
4 more years with Buhari will be intense oh !!!!
We don't need a pathological liar and empty man like him anymore if we must make progress as a Nation. Buhari has no brain to think or find solutions to problems in Nigeria. Nigeria for sure is a burial ground another four years with Buhari as president. Sorry for Nigeria.— DANIEL EKEH (@DANIEL65316083) May 6, 2019

Buhari has become a reproach to northern Nigeria— Eaglepostng (@Eaglepostng) May 6, 2019
He is more concerned about the IG losing weight than the change in approach to curb insecurity. Why hasn't he lost weight then . Buhari is just a failure https://t.co/T6n0WGjwqe— Tekena Alamina (@Tk_Alamina) May 6, 2019
