Another Social Media giant, Facebook has proceeded to remove a post made on President Muhammadu Buhari’s official page..

Buhari made headlines a few days ago after Twitter removed a tweet from the President’s handle. The tweet which subtly threatened ‘Genocidal’ violence against the Igbos was removed by the platform for violating its terms and conditions.

However, on Friday, Facebook proceeded to remove the same post from their platform.

“In line with our global policies, we’ve removed a post from President Buhari’s Facebook page for violating our Community Standards against inciting violence. We remove any content, from individuals or organisations that violates our policies on Facebook.”, Facebook Spokesperson stated.

Former Presidential aide and Opposition figure, Reno Omokri took to his page to celebrate the development.

“We did it it! Facebook has also taken down the tyrant’s genocidal post. We are grateful to Mark Zuckerberg. I am vindicated! When I asked my followers to report that post, many Buharists laughed at me. Who is laughing now. But it is still not enough.”

“We urge Facebook to permanently suspend Muhammadu Buhari like they did to Trump. Buhari is a bloodthirsty war monger that should be shut out of decent society! That way, other’s with genocidal tendencies will learn from the treatment meted out to him.” he wrote.
