Former President Muhammadu Buhari sparked controversy with his recent statement comparing Nigerians to his own livestock. In his farewell speech, as he stepped down to make way for newly elected President Bola Tinubu, Buhari made the remark that his cows and sheep are easier to control than Nigerians.
Expressing his excitement about returning to his base, he stated that his cows and sheep are far more manageable than his fellow countrymen. The comment has sparked criticism and raised eyebrows among the public.
In his farewell address, Buhari bid farewell to his fellow Heads of State and Government representatives, expressing his gratitude and offering well wishes. However, his comparison between Nigerians and livestock has garnered significant attention and backlash.
