“Jubril of Sudan addressed us”, not Buhari… Nigerians react to Buhari’s #EndSARS speech

Nigerians have said it was ‘Jubril Of Sudan’ who addressed the nation over #EndSARS protests.

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that some Nigerians have taken to micro blogging site, Twitter to refer to President Muhammadu Buhari as “Jubril of Sudan” after his “live” national broadcast on #EndSARS protests.

Recall that President Buhari had earlier addressed Nigerians on Thursday evening following the Lekki massacre of unarmed peaceful protesters at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos which led to nationwide law breakdown.

During the speech, Buhari failed to address the shooting of #EndSARS protesters by soldiers of the Nigerian Army but rather ordered that the protests against police brutality that rocked various cities across the nation before the Lekki massacre on Tuesday.

According to President Buhari,  “I, therefore, call on our youths to discontinue the street protests and constructively engage government in finding solutions.

“Your voice has been heard loud and clear and we are responding.”

Apparently displeased with the President’s address, Nigerians took to Twitter to refer to Buhari as “Jubril of Sudan”, a name given to the Nigerian president by the leader of the Indigenous of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Since the IPOB leader, Kanu reappeared in Israel in October 2018, he has been alleging that President Buhari is an impostor whose name is Jubril Al-Sudanni of Sudan, a claim which the President quashed after the IPOB leader presented what he described as “scientific proof.”

On Thursday, Nigerians backed Kanu’s claims that President Buhari is “Jubril of Sudan” on Twitter with many asking “Jubril of Sudan to leave so Buhari can take over as Nigeria’s President”.

Below are some of the tweets culled from Twitter from verified and unverified accounts Allegeding Buhari is a “Jubril Of Sudan”

Buhari sorry Jubril talked about Trader Moni, NPower & the Oba Of Lagos attack, no mention of the Lekki Genocide carried out by the Nigerian Army in his Recorded Live Broadcast.

Whenever you listen to Bubu, you will always wonder how he is our President 😭😭
