About one hundred thousand twitter users have unfollowed President Muhammadu Buhari on Twitter, hours after Pastor Reno Omokri, a former aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, launched a campaign hashtag #UnfollowBuhari.
This according to Omokri is to facilitate the nationwide call for the disbandment of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, FSARS, accused of killing innocent Nigerian youths.
Buhari who had about 3.5 million followers and 26 following, now has 3.4 million Followers and 26 following, reducing the number of followers with about 100,000.
Nigerians had begun campaigning for the termination of the activities and operations of SARS, who undoubtedly have dehumanized many youths in several occasions.
Raising their voices like a wide spread banner, Nigerians both young and old, big and small, elites, took to streets, protesting with the hastag, ENDSARS now, EndPoliceBrutality, and WedontneedSARS, calling on the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, and Buhari to end the operations of SARS.

Dear Nigerians,
VP @ProfOsinbajo personally checks his Twitter TL. If we mean business with #EndSARS, let’s shock him and General @MBuhari. If we all stop following him and he sees his Twitter following drop by 1 million, he will act. Let’s go!#UnfollowBuhari #UnfollowOsinbajo pic.twitter.com/v1cF1ns6g0

Dear Nigerians,
If we all mean business with this #EndSARS movement, let’s send a strong message to General @MBuhari. He has 3.5 million followers. If we all stop following him and he sees his Twitter following drop by 1 million, he will sit up. Who is with me? Let’s go there! pic.twitter.com/JokefEjspT

Dear Nigerians,
When I started the #UnfollowBuhari campaign as part of my #EndSARS protest, some laughed. Well, look. In just 1 hour, we have reduced Buhari’s following by 100,000. Never underestimate your influence. When Nigerians wake up, government will be afraid of us! pic.twitter.com/5buU0wX2xL
