An hour after Shehu’s tweet, the Presidency confirmed what he said in another tweet:

President @MBuhari is in Maiduguri, Borno State, to sympathize with the government and people of the State following the recent Boko Haram attack.

A video has just emerged on Twitter showing people booing Buhari’s motorcade in Maduguri today. It looks like the Nigeria’s No 1 citizen is not well loved over there.

Maiduguri people booing the clueless @MBuhari 'Ba ma so' means we don't want you again. @AishaYesufu @drwai @Galadancii @Usmankarofi01 pic.twitter.com/p6vxl4A7jC
