Reactions As President Buhari's Superb Handwriting Surfaces Online
Joe Igbkwe, an aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday, March 22, disclosed President Muhammdu Buhari's handwritten message at Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, where he commissioned the Dangote Fertiliser Plant.
President Buhari wrote the note after the tape cutting ceremony of the multi-billion dollars project which will unarguably act as a catalyst for Nigeria's economic boom.

Nigerians react
However, a lot of Nigerians on social media have reacted to the post by Igbokwe with varying concerns and takes.
But some other persons believe the president is a man of integrity and as such, cannot lie with some as petty as handwriting.

Amb Kuseme:
"If he should write this beautiful then why the country this way? Is there anything we are unaware ♂️ i’m asking for my brothers in Igbo land."
Arome Attah:
"Without light, fuel and the general hardship for naija, na who good writing dey epp? Ehn, na who?"
Samuel Omolola Edema
"Hmmm. I thought the quote is "nothing is impossible with visionary leaders..." Our president said "nothing is impossible with visionary citizen like Dangote ... " Isorite."
Ralph O. Ahanonu:
"Samuel Omolola Edema. Dangote is both a visionary leader and visionary Nigerian citizen and entrepreneur.
"That's not in dispute. If PMB had set out to quote the author verbatim, he would have used inverted commas/speech marks/quotation marks to denote this. He preferred to write something slightly different. I hope you re not insinuating it is a slip/mistake."
Segun Fagbemi:
"This is the handwriting of a septuagenarian? This is too perfect."
