Nigerians attack Saraki, Dogara over Buhari’s call tweets

For saying that they spoke with President Muhammadu Buhari, the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, have come under severe attack.
Both Saraki and Dogara relayed the messages from the call they had with Buhari on Wednesday night on their Twitter handles.
Saraki, at about 11pm on Wednesday, tweeted: “Happy to have spoken with @NGRPresident @MBuhari tonight.
“He was in good spirits and joked about my working late into the night, as usual.”
On Thursday, Dogara tweeted: “@MBuhari called me yesterday evening.
“He talked about what the Executive/ Legislature must do to to ensure food security for all Nigerians.
“He said he was pained by the suffering endured by most Nigerians last year and he’s resolved not to let events of 2016 repeat themselves.
“He also asked me to extend his best wishes to all Hon Members.”
But hardly had the numbers three and four citizens of the country tweeted than caustic comments started during in on their Twitter handles.
The comments, monitored by The Eagle Online, were more of displeasure from Nigerians than positive comments.
Only few had good words for the two top lawmakers.
Saraki, as at Thursday night, has had over 2,000 likes, retweets and comments on his Twitter handle on the subject matter.

However, there were a few who stood up for Saraki.
One of them challenged a tweet claiming Saraki lied over the conversation with the President.
Shewn007 ‏@shewn007: @sunnywinehousse @bukolasaraki @NGRPresident @MBuhari you swear? How do you know what’s real and what’s not? You work with mtn?
For Dogara, the comments, retweet and likes were still few as at press time.
They were not up to 1,000.
But the trend was not different from that of Saraki.
Here are a few as picked by The Eagle Online:
A. A. Justus ‏@ademolajustus: @YakubDogara @NGRPresident Who helps you package this form of deception? It is sad that our Legislative Leadership can be this porous.
