#ENDSARS Protest: About 100,000 People Unfollow Buhari On Twitter — In 24 Hours
~4.3 mins read

Approximately 100,000 people have unfollowed President Muhammadu Buhari on Twitter as a sign of protest of his management of the current policing crisis across the nation.

 

A new wave of protests to end the activities of the special anti-robbery squad of the Nigerian Police Force (SARS) has been sweeping across the globe in the last 96 hours, calling on the president to scrap that unit of the nation’s police.

 

Buhari did not respond to the protesters until Friday night when he tweeted a photo from a meeting with the inspector general of police (IGP) and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

 

The president said he has asked the IGP to address the issues and lead a police reform.

 

“The IG already has my firm instructions to conclusively address the concerns of Nigerians regarding these excesses, and ensure erring personnel are brought to justice,” Buhari tweeted

 

“I appeal for patience and calm, even as Nigerians freely exercise their right to peacefully make their views known.”

 

Nigerians were not impressed by Buhari’s response, and decided to continue the protests nationwide — gaining traction internationally as one of the top trends across the world.

 

THE CALL TO UNFOLLOW BUHARI

A Twitter user called on Nigerians to unfollow the president on the micro-blogging platform. According to him “unfollowing Buhari is also a form of protest?”

 

“We can help him shave off 1.5 million followers,” he added.

 

Less than 24 hours after the tweet was made, about 100,000 people have unfollowed the president, reducing his followership from 3.5 million to 3.4 million.

 The actual numbers are unknown; Twitter uses an approximation method to determine what is shown on every individual profile.

 

According to a web archive accessed by TheCable, Buhari had 3.24 million followers in June 2015 shortly after he became president.

His followership grew to 3.46 million as of October 1, 2020, but crossed the 3.5 million mark about a week later — just before the protests began nationwide. But has now seen a drop in numbers.

 

The call to unfollow the president is growing on the platform — just as protests have continued nationwide.

We Are Not Affected By Buhari's Directive On IPPIS -ASUU.

We’re not affected by Buhari’s directive on IPPIS – ASUU

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has declared its members are not affected by President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive that only federal workers on Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) would be paid salaries.
Its President Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN), in Abuja.
Buhari, while presenting the 2021 Budget at a joint session of the National Assembly on Thursday, said that only federal workers captured by the IPPIS would continue to receive salaries.
He ordered all federal workers to enroll in the IPPIS platform, declaring that the platform was meant to check fraud, including the payment of salaries to non-existent personnel.
He said that the platform would also check the payment of unauthorised allowances.
But Ogunyemi, while reacting to the President’s directive, said the workers referred to were civil servants.
“The directive was meant for civil servants; university academics are not civil servants.
“We have an understanding with the government to develop an alternative platform that would be sensitive to the operations of the university and accommodate its peculiarities.
“The platform we are developing will also respect the autonomy of our universities as obtained globally.
“The idea of seeking clearance from the Head of Service or the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation is alien to university operations because it will halt its flexibility.

“The University Miscellaneous (Provisions) (Amendment)Act (2003), which government gazetted as University Autonomy Act (2007), has vested the powers of personnel and payroll system issues in the hands of each university’s governing council,” he claimed.
He added that ASUU, on 9 January 2019 reached an understanding with Buhari to develop its proposed University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), for testing and adoption for managing personnel information and payroll system in the universities.
“We have since done that and presented to the Federal Ministry of Education. What is left is to present to other major stakeholders, particularly in the Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning.
“The development of UTAS was done at no cost to the government. We used contributions from the check-off deductions of ASUU members to finance the project and this cost us millions of naira,” he said.
Lecturers have been on strike since February to register their disapproval of the government’s insistence that they must be captured on the IPPIS platform if they were to receive salaries.
They have also cited other issues bordering on welfare and more funding for the universities as some of their reasons for abandoning the classrooms.
