  1. Buhari might not be physically weak but his too old to lead nigeria.. We talked about Mandela becoming the president of South Africa at a very old age but my question is ” what sacrificed did buhari make when he had the time to lead nigeria? Mandela sacrificed all his life for South Africa and as such he deserved to lead South Africa at a very old age.. Jonathan has failed nigeria, buhari the dictator once failed Nigerians so the best alternative for every Nigerian is to discover a new platform that has the answers to our need.. A buhari would be a mistake of another 4 years please Nigerians let us all be wise.. With buhari,their is no hope for the youths. We don’t need people like tinubu to control nigerians

  2. Mr. fani-Kayode, you eventually got noticed by the presidency for your dirtypublications. It is sure your case with EFCC is gorgiven, but mind you that would only be if PDP does not win. Should APC wins, forget, your case shall be completed to logical conclusion,.
