Islamic Scholar ‘Imam of Peace’ Berates Nigeria’s Leadership, Calls President Buhari ‘An Enabler Of Terrorism’
Muslim scholar, best selling author, and social commentator Mohammad Tawhidi who tweets with the handle @imamofpeace on Friday took to Twitter to spew vitriol at President Muhammadu Buhari, calling him an enabler of terrorism in Nigeria.
In a set of tweets and replies to Nigerians on Twitter on March 27, the Imam, known for his sometimes controversial tweets, berated the President for his poor response to the Coronavirus pandemic in the country.
In his first set of tweets, Imam of Peace stated that;
The President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari still doesn’t know the name of the virus killing 24,000+ at such a rapid rate. Addressing the nation about it for the first time, he pronounced the virus as ‘CIVIK 1-9’.
His friend, Imran Khan, thinks Japan and Germany share a border.

Top 3 leaders:
1- Imran Khan. Professional beggar, terror-sympathizer, thinks Japan and Germany are neighbours.
2- Muhammadu Buhari, dumbest person in Nigeria. Scared of terrorists, promises to fight the COVIKK virus.
3- Tamim of Qatar: Thinks he’s sexy. Answers only to mummy.

His tweets made the hashtag #PresidentCovik trend in Nigeria on the micro-blogging social networking platform, and the keyword ‘Imam’ a world wide trend. Nigerians as expected reacted to the tweets, and this birthed even more responses from the 37 year old, who seems to have dedicated today to Nigeria and its leadership.
He described Nigeria as a beautiful country, populated by lovely people, but that “it would be more beautiful without the terrorism enabled by Dictator Buhari.”
In his words, Imam of Peace stated that;
Muhammadu Buhari is the Joe Biden of Nigeria: 1- People don’t know where he is. 2- He doesn’t know where he is. 3- He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. 4- His fingerprints are on dirty files with no one brave enough to investigate him. 5- A national embarrassment.

Weak leadership of Buhari.
Failed President.
No realistic agenda to tackle Jihadists.

Americans have all heard of that one “Nigerian Scammer” who is making Nigerians look bad. His name is Buhari and he thinks he’s a Nigerian Prince. #PresidentCovik

His comments about President Buhari led to an exchange of words between him and a staunch APC supporter, Adamu Garba
In his response to the comments of Imam of Peace, Garba said;
A refugee, @Imamofpeace who cannot withstand his home country’s repression and ran to another man’s country to seek asylum due to dictatorship of his home country have no right to attack my country and its President.
Whoever hate your President hates your country. Imam hates us.

Also responding to Imam of Peace on Twitter is Bashir Ahmad, the personal assistant on new media to President Buhari.
He tweeted that;
For those who are asking me to respond to @imamofpeace tweets, the guy lacks courage, he is no different from the usual coward, he has blocked me, so I won’t be able to see the nonsense he has been tweeting, those of you following him, kindly remind him of who he is, the COWARD
Imam of Peace replying said;
Dear Nigeria…
Who blocked who…?
Who’s the liar polishing the shoes of his President?

He also berated Channels Television for wanting to do a pre-recorded interview instead of live. He wrote:
Nigerian TV channels want to interview me. I agreed on the condition they interview me LIVE. They all said no. They want to pre-record it. This means 2 things: They have a dirty agenda or that Buhari is a dictator. Or both.
— Imam of Peace (@Imamofpeace) March 27, 2020
Because there’s big a cost for lying to me on LIVE TV👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/M5M5cElEAX
As at Press time, ‘Imam of Peace’ continues to tweet about Nigeria’s leadership, not caring a farthing whose Ox is gored, even as he takes on critics, replying them one after the other on the social networking platform.
President Buhari and his cult are coming after me instead of going after Boko Haram. This shows you the real agenda of #PresidentCovik and the Covik cult.
