Nigerians Bomb Buhari Over Don Jazzy vs DSS Saga, Beg Jonathan For Forgiveness
Nigerians have berated President Muhammadu Buhari over the purported invitation of Michael Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy and Tiwa Savage by the Department of State Service (DSS).
Naija News understands that a report filed by SaharaReporters had said the DSS reportedly invited Nigerian music producer and his former signee Tiwatope Savage, also known as Tiwa Savage, for questioning over alleged political comments against President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
The report said following the increase in rape cases in Nigeria, Tiwa Savage began a movement known as “WeAreTired” in protest of the situation. The musician through the movement called on the current government to take action to stem the tide of rape in the country.
According to the report, the call by Tiwa Savage for the Buhari’s administration to live up to its responsibilities to Nigerians earned the singer an invitation by the DSS. Together with Don Jazzy, Savage was invited to the DSS office in Lagos two weeks ago during which they were warned to be careful with their posts on the social media.
Reacting to the development in a short video published on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, Don Jazzy asked what the word “quizzes” was as applied in the report published by SaharaReporters.

Like Don Jazzy, Nigerians took to Twitter to air their opinions on the matter with some asking for former President Goodluck Jonathan for forgiveness.
Naija News captured some of the reactions below…
If Fashola becomes the minister of power, I would throw away my generators – Don Jazzy.
Jazzy helped to enthrone tyrant Buhari, now he's being hounded by Buhari's DSS, for criticising his govt.

It is sadistic to compare Buhari's human rights abuses, abuse of office, scandals, corruption matters etc, to Goodluck Jonathan's.
We're supposed to be moving forward, to be progressive.
Sadly, Don Jazzy & Tiwa Savage wouldn't be the last. They will come for ALL OF US, las las.
