Northerners are currently trending #NorthernLivesMatter on twitter as they called out President Muhammadu Buhari over insecurity in Nigeria which Northern states are the worst hits.
It has been recorded that the North are experiencing the high rate of killings, rape and massacre by Boko Haram, Bandits and Fulani Herdsmen. The recent reports of the bandits killings over hundreds of residents in the Northern States has led the Northerners to protest.
Recently, youths in President Buhari’s home town in Katsina protested by tearing down the President electoral billboards over what they tagged as a failed promise. According to reports, the youths said the president has failed them, despite voting massively for him to retain power for the second term.
A northern social media user, @__usyy, recalled how Mr. Buhari, while seeking for power called out the previous President to resign over insecurity;
“When Buhari was questing for power he called out the previous president to resign Coz of his poor handling of security situation of the country. Now that he’s also in power and even worser than him we are calling for him to do the needful or resign. #NorthernLivesMatter.

“This is how the bandits are moving freely on the road. Village people that were not attacked yet are waving hands as sign of respect to them. Because they loose hope from the government. What else do you need to prove you that the APC Government is a failure? – @aminuyaro_ wrote on twitter.

“Residents of Yankara-Katsina have blocked a major highway in the area over what they call “unhindered rape, killing and kidnappings by armed groups believed to be terrorists.”How i wish the remaining Northern States will resort to this too. Let them know #NorthernLivesMatter – another user wrote.

I don’t blame Buhari. I blame the northern people that used religion, tribe, juju and decisively connived with few from the south to bring Buhari to power.
Now the north is paying…#NorthernLivesMatter

We are very disappointed @MBuhari Your people are dying everyday but you are there inside State house doing Nothing. Where are the imams and pastor's that make us vote this man? Where are the northern governors forum? Where are the northern elders? #NorthernLivesMatter
