Nigerians have slammed President Buhari for endorsing a tyrannical government and a dictator.

President Muhammadu Buhari has come under criticism for describing late Burundi's President, Pierre Nkurunziza, as a true patriot.

In his tribute to the late president, who died on Monday, President Buhari wrote, “It is with profound grief and sadness that we received the news of the death of President Pierre Nkurunziza.

“President Nkurunziza was a true patriot that steered the country through turbulent times with wisdom and foresight.

Nigerians thereafter slammed President Buhari for endorsing a tyrannical government and a dictator.

Many also said he ignored the killings happening in the country while consoling others outside Nigeria.

Nigerians advised him to pay attention to what was happening in the country especially killings in Katsina and Zamfara.

It is just unfortunate.
