Nigerians on Twitter go after Presidency handle for being insensitive and Political

Just few hours ago, the official twitter handle of the Nigerian Presidency tweeted a State House press release:

“STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

BAYELSA/KOGI ELECTION RESULTS: PDP SHOULD ACCEPT DEFEAT WITH GRACE

Predictably, we have seen the accusation of fabricated results from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, the PDP. Yet, the only fabrication is PDP’s conduct.”

Nigerians on twitter in reaction to this, expressed their annoyance at the presidency’s handle being used to tweet political sentiments.

See some of the reactions below:

Such a threaded tweet was approved to go on @NGRPresident?

As if people didn’t die in vain. I’m beginning to see why people leave their excellent jobs and move abroad for lesser roles, but then, they get the assurance that their lives matter. https://t.co/fk3Ooyqg42

No difference again in today‘s Nigeria.

Institutions and organs/instrument of state have been personalized.

Are you guys meant to be tweeting something like this?
This is the height of partisanship the @NGRPresident can be.
I’m so disappointed in you guys, so u don’t even care how bad the election was, the casualties, people that lost their lives and this is what u tweet?

In all sincerity this handle shouldn’t be tweeting this. In as much as we get the message but the post seems partisan

Honestly this post came from the wrong handle. Presidency Nigeria belongs to the people of Nigeria whether in any Political party or not. It is sacrilege to use the supreme leadership handle of the nation for this post. This rejoinder should have come from APCs handle.

Well they can’t contain their autocracy and despotism.
