Nigerians on twitter are angry that Atiku, who often comment on any issues and condemn Buhari and others, had refused to speak on the death sentence placed on Kano musician, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu.
A twitter user, Malachy Odo said “Atiku has an opinion about everything except on the death sentence passed on that young fellow by a Sharia Court in Kano for blasphemy. His silence means he’s an extremist just like the rest of them or he doesn’t want to offend the extremists whose votes he needs tomorrow. A pity.”
Another user, Funmi Olusegun, said “Atiku, Nigerians have been waiting for your stance on the death penalty passed down on a man for stating his mind. It will be nice to know d mind of someone who would likely be contesting to be our president soon.”
According to Tosin, “I love Atiku, but I’m beginning to get scared he won’t end up a sectional leader like Buhari. Two cases… The detention of Mubarak Bala and the Hausa guy they want to kill for BLASPHEMY. He has nothing to say about it but you guys want us to commit over 180m people in his hands?”
A twitter user, The Capitaine, said it would be nice if Atiku made his stance known on this matter.

Buhari contested how many times again for presidency and we can see how he has moved this country to Eldorado.
Atiku is on the same path. How many times will the same stick enter this country eye before we learn? If he really wants to help, he should support a qualified youth
