The Senior Special Assistant on Social Media to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has urged Nigerians to show patriotism despite the many challenges confronting the country.
Onochie appealed in a tweet on Wednesday to Nigerians who ‘hate’ the President to be careful not to extend the same ‘hatred’ to Nigeria and her institutions, warning that it would be inimical to the development of the country.
“If you choose to hate our President and Legislators, it’s okay but that hatred must not be extended to Nigeria and her institutions,”@Laurestar tweeted.

“While President Trump is denigrating America’s electoral system, Americans are fiercely defending the integrity of their electoral body, that’s patriotism,” Onochie stressed, adding, “We must stand by our institutions as they make progress towards serving us better.”
