According to Yesufu, the “Northerners who gave Buhari everything, including their votes and love, are now crying as what the President has given the region in exchange has been nothing but death and destruction.”
“Northern people gave Buhari everything and Buhari gave them nothing! Northern people gave Buhari votes and Buhari gave them destruction; Northern people gave Buhari love and Buhari gave them tears.
“Northern people gave Buhari support and Buhari gave them death #ZabarmariMassacre,” she tweeted.
