Media users get talking after President Buhari hailed Anthony Joshua over his victory against Kubrat Pulev

Media users have taken to their social media pages and dragged the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari after he snubbed the 600 Kidnapped students to congratulate Anthony Joshua over his victory for knocking out Pulev in the 9th round in their heavyweight fight.

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has commended Nigerian-born boxer, Anthony Joshua, over his victory against Kubrat Pulev Saturday night.

This was contained in a press statement by Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, titled, ‘President Buhari hails Anthony Joshua’s victory over Pulev’ on Sunday.

The statement read,

“President Muhammadu Buhari celebrates the decisive victory of Nigerian-born boxer, Anthony Joshua over Kubrat Pulev Saturday night.

“The President says by retaining his IBF, WBA, and WBO titles, Joshua has given boxing lovers round the world, and particularly in Nigeria, something to cheer.

“He recalls his meeting with the heavyweight champion in London earlier in the year, describing Anthony Joshua as a humble, well brought up young man, “who will still go places.”

“President Buhari wishes Joshua all the best in his dream fight against Tyson Fury, saying he has the prayers and goodwill of Nigerians going with him.”

However, some Nigerians who are not happy about the President’s congratulatory message, took to their social media pages to drag him for ignoring the 600 students who were abducted in Government Science School in Kastina yesterday, December 12 and congratulated Anthony Joshua.
