Nigerians are still reacting to the picture of President Muhammadu Buhari’s meeting with John Oyegun, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and some governors in the UK on Sunday.
While a number of the reactions were of happiness and gratitude, others were of cynicism and outright disbelief.
Here are a few of them
We need short video not Photoshop

Meanwhile, Femi Adesina, Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity,has said there will be “another visit” to the President “in the coming days”.
Adesina admitted that the information about the President’s meeting with the APC chieftains came via a “third party” — Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum — but he said it was better than no information at all.
“Imagine if there was no information at all,” he said.
“This is third party information quite all right (but) it is information that Nigerians are glad at, there has been lots of rejoicing in the country since yesterday. So it’s something we appreciate.
“I am sure that in a couple of days, there is still going to be another visit, which may be more than this, but this is the first one and it was made mainly of APC governors and the national chairman of the party.”
