Bill Gates phone call to Buhari that almost gave Nigerians a national holiday

The richest man in the world, Bill Gates, is alleged to have called Nigeria’s president Muhammad Buhari.

The Wednesday phone call was shared by Buhari’s personal assistant Bashir Ahmad.

The Microsoft founder is said to have called to congratulate the Nigerian president for winning 2019 election.

Muhammad Buhari won the elections defeating his rival Atiku Abubahkar by almost 3 million votes.

” Bill Gates said he’s happy to be associated with President Buhari restated his commitment to the success of the administration as well as the progress, prosperity, and well-being of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He also expressed willingness to do more for the country,” read one of Bashir’s tweets.

He added that the president commended the generosity of Bill Gates to Nigerians.

Yesterday night, one of the world’s richest men, @BillGates called President @MBuhari to congratulate him on his resounding election victory, winning a second four-year term of office.

Some section of Nigerians were not amused at all and thought that the Buhari was the one who initiated the call.

We're now in the era where a call from a business mogul and international philanthropist to a poverty stricken third world country's clueless President is considered an achievement.

Bravo, bravo. 🤝🤝🤝👏👏👏 E pa'tewo fun ara yin.

Fear of inviting @Microsoft . For past weeks and months he never called why calling immediately Atiku involved his company
