President Buhari has shared his disgust over the foreign coverage of End SARS protest by CNN and BBC. He made this known via his Twitter handle.
The president tweeted:@MBuhari
It must be said that foreign press coverage of the ENDSARS violence was not balanced, especially from CNN and BBC. I was disgusted by the coverage, which did not give attention to the policemen that were killed, the stations that were burnt, and prisons that were opened.

Many Nigerians were disappointed with the tweet. See reactions below:
coverage of #EndSARS. Sad, because this same man never expressed disgust or sadness for the many Nigerians killed by his soldiers at #LekkiMassacre. What a heartless fellow! What if the dead were your kids?

Let it be known that our President, Buhari is more concerned about CNN and BBC‘s coverage of police stations burnt & policemen killed during the #EndSARS
protest than the lives of youths that were lost to policemen & military shootings at Lekki on that night

You are not disgusted by the killing of innocent protesters, it is CNN and BBC report that is your problem. This is heartless.

He is not disgusted by the fact that his citizens are being decimated daily by the nation’s security forces, which are meant to protect and serve. He is only bothered about CNN and BBC, both of which I doubt he ever watches. A fucking clown!
