President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari
Nigerians have taken to Twitter to mock President Muhammadu Buhari and his aide on new media, Ahmad Bashir for congratulating former president, Goodluck Jonathan on his 62th birthday rather than 62nd.
The former president turned 62 on Wednesday, and prominent Nigerians flooded his Twitter timeline with congratulatory messages, including Ahmad, on behalf of the President.
However, Ahmad’s tweet got a little more attention for two reasons, he spelt ‘felicitate’ as ‘feliciates’ and ’62nd’ as ’62th’.
He tweeted: President @MBuhari feliciates with former President @GEJonathan on his 62th birthday, joining the nation in praying for longer life, good health and more strength to keep serving the nation.
This quickly sparked the attention of some social media users as they mocked both Ahmad and Buhari for employing him.

That's why buhari will like u reason he hired u as social media propagandist cos u can't differentiate between 62nd & 62th or maybe you meant to write 60th.

A hood doesn’t make a monk. It’s 62nd and not 62th. Now you see my friend, the decay in the country’s education system comes to bite us all.
