Less than 24 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari was announced as president-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the All Progressives Congress (APC) set up a poll asking Nigerians what they want the government to improve on in the next four years.

Buhari won his reelection after polling 15,191,847 to defeat his closest rival, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who got 11,262,968 votes.

On its official Twitter handle, the APC asked Nigerians to make suggestions ranging from economy, security infrastructure to fight against corruption.

“Now that President @MBuhari has been reelected, what would you suggest he should do better or give more attention? You might want to add yours using hashtag #BuhariShould, for easy tracking,” the tweet read.

Some people have commended the gesture while others have waved it off as mere propaganda.

Below are some of the responses

#BuhariShould balance the fight against corruption across all parties

This poll is commendable. Haven't witnessed a government come up with this kinda poll. It's a sign of good things to come from this NEW regime! #BuhariShould https://t.co/pFRDsn1NAt

With this deluge of #BuhariShould it ironically sounds like Buhari is a first-time president!

#BuhariShould
Also the dollar rate is too high. The police and armed govt officials harass the youths alot and make threats to kill with their guns..

They are meant to protect us, whats the point if we get scared of them, we should feel safe.

This should be attended to

Just pick one thing and focus on it #BuhariShould ….. Cause he would be a big disgrace if he doesn't do something for those that elected him after his failure in the last four yrs

He should focus on job creation and improve in our economy. #BuhariShould Then he should also work on security issue

#BuhariShould sign the Peace Corps to improve on security and employment.

Oh Lord! #BuhariShould not have gone for a second tenure. Oh well he's here already so… #BuhariShould do right by Nigerians and listen to our wailing.
No more one sided corruption fighting- charity begins at home. He should start from his house as also it's his very last chance

#BuhariShould reshuffle his cabinet please!!!

— abubakar suleiman ib (@Official_S_MAN) February 27, 2019

#BuhariShould ensure state Governors give enough power to the local governments; and then FG monitors them for corruption. They are the closest to the people & can effectively ensure grassroots growth. These current governors are distracted & greedy for self popularity and gain.

#BuhariShould travel less this time around..

#BuhariShould I don't want much, all I need is good governance and a touch of digital advancement.

#BuhariShould sack Dalong and Shittu

If he falls sick like his first tenure, he should honourably resign and let people who can deliver his promises do the job #BuhariShould

Don’t ask Nigerians what they “ think or feel” Buhari should do better…!!! He @MBuhari has a reason for contesting the second time. Let him deliver on that mission. He has been given that opportunity the second time don’t ask Nigerians nonsense questions please #Buharishould
