Nigerians react as Buhari's son joins 2027 race

"So this is what Nigerian politics has been reduced to: recycling familiar names instead of building real leadership.
"The son of Muhammadu Buhari stepping into the political arena under the APC doesn’t inspire confidence; it raises serious concerns about entitlement and dynasty politics.
"At a time when millions of young Nigerians are struggling for opportunities, we’re being asked to applaud a system that keeps power within the same circles.
"Speeches by officials like Hannatu Musa Musawa may try to frame it as progress, but Nigerians can see through the optics.
"This shouldn’t be about surnames or connections; it should be about competence, track record, and accountability. Nigeria deserves leaders who have earned their place through service, not inheritance."
